Patriots RB Henderson Out Weeks With Ankle Injury
14 Oct
Summary
- Henderson suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 5.
- Kiner fumbled his first snap but later rushed for 52 yards.
- Haskins was signed to the practice squad to add depth.
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is sidelined for several weeks after suffering a high-ankle sprain during the team's Week 5 victory. This injury presents a challenge for the Patriots' offense, which has recently achieved back-to-back wins.
Henderson, who also missed the season opener, leaves a gap that Rhamondre Stevenson will likely help fill, potentially with an increased workload. The team's depth chart at running back now falls on Corey Kiner, Lan Larison, and Hassan Haskins.
Corey Kiner, acquired via trade, had a shaky start in Week 5 with a fumble on his first carry but finished with 52 rushing yards. Lan Larison, elevated from the practice squad, saw limited offensive snaps in Week 1, registering nine receiving yards. Hassan Haskins was recently signed to the practice squad, indicating the team anticipates Henderson's absence to be prolonged.
The Patriots will be evaluating Henderson's availability as they prepare for upcoming games, including a Week 6 matchup against the New York Jets and a Week 7 game against the Chicago Bears.
