Overview
- Henderson disclosed Friday that he was hospitalized for several days after a sudden medical emergency that produced unexplained neurological symptoms and affected his strength and coordination.
- He said extensive medical testing has returned results that are "positive and reassuring" while the underlying cause remains unknown and under further specialist evaluation.
- The Patriots first listed him on their injury report with an illness and he missed the Week 8 game in Miami after not traveling with the team, leaving his availability for Sunday’s game in doubt.
- Team usage has shifted while he recovers, with Rhamondre Stevenson carrying the lead load and backups such as Corey Kiner and Lan Larison seeing increased snaps.
- Henderson has asked for privacy as he works with doctors and physical therapists, and a source told reporters he did not suffer a stroke; the timeline for any return depends on specialist findings and safety evaluations.
