TreVeyon Henderson Injury News & Updates

Henderson rushed 11 times for 67 yards and brought in three of four targets for 19 yards in the Patriots' 33-15 win over the Giants on Monday night.

Henderson actually logged one fewer carry than Rhamondre Stevenson, but he outgained his backfield mate by 27 rushing yards and drew one additional target as well. Both backs had ample opportunity thanks to game script, as the Patriots already held a 30-7 lead at halftime. Henderson is still likely the No. 1 option under normal circumstances, but both backs are clearly trusted by the coaching staff. Henderson next takes aim at the Bills' typically generous run defense in a Week 15 home showdown on Sunday, Dec. 14 following a Week 14 bye.

Henderson carried the ball 18 times for 66 yards and caught three of four targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Bengals.

Rhamondre Stevenson returned from a three-game absence due to a toe injury, but that didn't have a big impact on Henderson's workload, as his 18 carries were just one short of his volume from the week before. Stevenson was also largely ineffective on his limited touches, gaining just five rushing yards on six totes and getting stuffed on two carries from Cincinnati's one-yard line in the third quarter. Henderson appears to have the No. 1 job in the backfield firmly in hand, racking up 405 rushing yards and four TDs with 5.4 yards per carry over the last five games while chipping in a 13-81-1 line on 16 targets. Henderson gets a very juicy matchup in Week 13 against a Giants defense that just got torched for 264 scrimmage yards and three total TDs by the Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs.

Henderson rushed 19 times for 62 yards and two touchdowns and secured all five targets for 31 yards and another score in the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday night.

The rookie came in with a golden opportunity to following up his career-best 147-yard rushing day in Week 10 against the Buccaneers, as Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) remained out and Terrell Jennings was dealing with a knee issue. Henderson ended up cashing in, putting together his first three-TD game as a pro via a pair of seven-yard second-quarter scoring runs and a six-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter. Henderson also comfortably paced the ground attack with a career-high carry total, and he'll be set up for what should be an elevated Week 12 role -- irrespective of Stevenson's availability -- against a very vulnerable Bengals defense on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Henderson (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets, while Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) is ruled out and Terrell Jennings (knee) listed as questionable.

Jennings actually took four carries before Henderson got his first touch in Sunday's 28-23 win over Tampa Bay, but Henderson rarely left the field after Jennings' early departure and eventually had two TD runs of more than 50 yards. It all sets up nicely for Henderson on Thursday, with potential to put up a strong fantasy score in a favorable matchup even if Jennings ends up playing and takes some of the power-rushing work.

Henderson (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Estimated as a limited participant Monday on the Patriots' initial weekly practice report, Henderson took every rep in Tuesday's session to erase any concerns about his availability for Thursday's game against the Jets. The makeup of the New England backfield for Week 11 remains unclear, however, as Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and Terrell Jennings (knee) were listed as limited participants on the second straight day but were spotted mostly working off to the side during the media-access portion of Tuesday's session, per Mark Daniels of MassLive.com. The status of Stevenson in particular for Thursday's game will bear watching, as his potential absence for a third straight week could set the stage for Henderson to once again serve as New England's lead back. The rookie second-round pick turned in the best performance of his young career in this past Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, carrying 14 times for 147 yards and two touchdowns to go with a three-yard reception while playing a season-high 84 percent of the o

Henderson was listed as limited on Monday's injury report due to a knee injury.

Henderson appeared to get his knee twisted up during Sunday's 28-23 win at Tampa Bay, but he continued onward and authored the first signature performance of his career with 14 carries for 147 yards and two touchdowns to go with one catch (on one target) for three yards. He was getting a second straight spot start in place of Rhamondre Stevenson (toe), but the latter also was listed as limited Monday -- in addition to Terrell Jennings (knee) -- meaning all three players at the position on New England's active roster are banged up ahead of Thursday's game against the Jets.

Henderson rushed 14 times for 147 yards and two touchdowns while also bringing in his sole target for three yards in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Henderson's career-best rushing yardage total was largely the result of 55- and 69-yard touchdown runs in the second half, plays on which the rookie's signature speed was on full display. Henderson filled the clear lead-back role in the road victory, as backfield mate Terrell Jennings exited the contest with a knee injury. Given his performance Sunday and the short turnaround for a Week 11 Thursday night matchup against the Jets, it appears Henderson will continue enjoying virtually full control of the backfield for that divisional contest.

With Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) having been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Henderson is once again in line to see added backfield work this weekend.

In Stevenson's absence in the Patriots' 24-23 win over the Falcons in Week 9, Henderson started and recorded a 75 percent snap share, en route to carrying 14 times for 55 yards and catching four of his six targets for 32 yards, while Terrell Jennings was on the field for 25 percent of New England's snaps on offense, rushing 11 times for 35 yards and a TD and hauling in his only target for nine yards. Against Tampa Bay, look for the time-share to continue to lean in Henderson's favor, a context that gives him Week 10 fantasy lineup viability. Meanwhile, Jennings offers an option for those in deeper formats who are scrambling for RB help this week.

Henderson rushed 14 times for 55 yards and caught four of six targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.

Henderson set a new career high in carries as the Patriots played without Rhamondre Stevenson (toe), and the rookie second-round pick's 55 rushing yards marked the second-highest total of Henderson's career behind his 75 against the Browns in Week 8. Terrell Jennings played a complementary role alongside Henderson, rushing 11 times for 35 yards and a touchdown. Henderson's production has been trending up, but he'll remain part of a platoon in Week 10 against the Buccaneers, whether he's splitting carries with Stevenson or Jennings.

With Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Henderson is in line to serve as the Patriots' lead back this weekend, per Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site.

Henderson broke out for a career-high 75 rushing yards on 10 carries in last week's win over the Browns, a game in which Stevenson logged 14 carries and a catch on two targets. In Stevenson's absence, Henderson is poised to see an uptick in touches versus Atlanta, a context that provides a boost to the 2025 second-rounder's fantasy lineup appeal in Week 9. For now, Terrell Jennings is the only other healthy running back on New England's active roster, but D'Ernest Johnson, Jonathan Ward and Rushawn Baker are candidates to be elevated from the team's practice squad.

Henderson carried the ball 10 times for 75 yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.

It was a career-best performance for the rookie running back, although Henderson's day was marred somewhat by a lost fumble, his first of the season. Rhamondre Stevenson led the Patriots with 14 carries, but he managed just 34 rushing yards on that volume, and the workload could begin to tip toward the freshman given his superior explosiveness. Henderson will look to build on this performance in Week 9 against the Falcons.

Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said Thursday that Henderson's reduced workload in the Patriots' Week 7 win over the Titans was "circumstantial," and the running back could see his snap count return to normal this Sunday against the Browns, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports. "Runners get into a rhythm," McDaniels said, acknowledging that starter Rhamondre Stevenson's hot start in Sunday's game contributed to him garnering a larger share of the rushing load.

After a promising preseason, Henderson looked well on his way to being a major factor out of the New England backfield right away, if not unseating Stevenson as the team's top option. Instead, the rookie second-round pick's role had remained relatively static through the first six weeks, with Henderson's snap share ranging between 30 and 50 percent while he produced a 41-148-1 rushing line and 16-99-0 receiving line over that stretch. He then saw his playing time plunge significantly in Week 7, with Henderson's nine snaps representing a season-low total. In addition to averaging just 3.6 yards per carry, Henderson has drawn criticism for his pass blocking, but McDaniels suggested that the Patriots aren't yet ready to limit the rookie's opportunities on a more permanent basis. That said, with Stevenson representing the Patriots' clear No. 1 option at the moment, Henderson will be difficult to deploy with much confidence in weekly fantasy lineups until his touch counts pick up.

Henderson rushed the ball two times for five yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans.

Henderson remained uninvolved in the Patriots' offense, logging one carry in the second quarter and one in the fourth quarter. Rhamondre Stevenson dominated touches, while Terrell Jennings picked up five carries in garbage time. While game script led to Henderson's lowest touch total of the season, the Patriots continue to not prioritize him in the offense.

Henderson carried the ball nine times for 27 yards and caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints.

The results were meager, but Henderson still out-gained Rhamondre Stevenson by 18 scrimmage yards, although he finished one rushing yard behind quarterback Drake Maye for the team lead. Henderson has yet to reach even 40 rushing yards or 60 scrimmage yards in a game this season, and the rookie will likely remain stuck in a timeshare with Stevenson heading into a Week 7 clash with the Titans.

Henderson carried the ball six times for 24 yards and caught two of three targets for three yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Buffalo.

Henderson finished as New England's leading rusher as part of a three-player committee, but it was Rhamondre Stevenson who cashed in both of the team's short rushing scores Sunday. The latter also coughed up his third fumble of the season, which could cut into Stevenson's playing time even after making two trips to the end zone. That potential scenario could open up more touches for Henderson going forward, who has seen his fantasy value thwarted by the three-way timeshare. Until witness an uptick in usage, the second-round rookie will be stuck as a deep-league option in Week 6.

Henderson rushed seven times for 32 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 14 yards in the Patriots' 42-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 20 yards.

The rookie second-round pick still couldn't surpass backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson's workload despite the latter's Week 3 fumbling issues, but Henderson still turned in a serviceable fantasy performance overall thanks to his first NFL touchdown. Henderson got into the end zone from five yards out with just under six minutes left in the second quarter, and his rushing yardage tally represented a new career high. Henderson also has multiple receptions in each of his first four games, but he appears stuck in a three-way committee with Stevenson and Antonio Gibson heading into a Week 5 road matchup against the Bills next Sunday night.

Henderson carried the ball 11 times for 28 yards and caught all three of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Steelers.

The rookie RB struggled on the ground once again, failing to reached 30 rushing yards for the third straight game to begin his NFL career. His 14 touches were his highest volume so far however, and the increase came largely due to the fact that his competition for backfield work, Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson, combined to lose three fumbles. That could put Henderson at the top of the depth chart in Week 4 against a Panthers defense that remains fairly vulnerable on the ground and just gave up 111 scrimmage yards to Bijan Robinson.

Henderson rushed three times for 10 yards while catching both of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 33-27 win over the Dolphins.

Henderson was out-touched by both Rhamondre Stevenson (16) and Antonio Gibson (six) on offense. Stevenson looks like the lead back in New England, at least for now, while Henderson's stuck splitting change-of-pace duties with Gibson. The speedy Henderson has the talent to take on a larger role as the season unfolds, but the rookie second-round pick could be held back by a lack of volume again when the Patriots host the Steelers in Week 3.

Henderson rushed five times for 27 yards and brought in all six targets for 24 yards in the Patriots' 20-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday. He also returned two kickoffs for 43 yards.

The rookie second-round pick was given plenty of opportunity in his first NFL regular-season game, and even when game script turned somewhat away from the run, Henderson remained involved as a receiver on his way to a co-team-high reception total. Backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson only outpaced Henderson by two carries, which would appear to bode well for his prospects in a Week 2 road matchup next Sunday against what appears to be a porous Dolphins run defense.

Henderson gained 20 yards and a touchdown on four carries in Saturday's 20-12 preseason win over the Vikings. He failed to catch his only target.

After an electric kickoff return TD in the Patriots' exhibition opener last weekend, Henderson found paydirt again Saturday, this time on an eight-yard run on the team's second possession of the afternoon that saw the rookie running back demonstrate both patience and his ability to power though contact. Rhamondre Stevenson (undisclosed) remains atop the depth chart, but it may just be a show of deference to the veteran after Henderson was selected 38th overall in the 2025 Draft to be one of the centerpieces of the offense.

Henderson rushed once for 18 yards and caught all three of his targets for 12 yards in Friday's 48-18 win over the Commanders. He also scored a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown.

Henderson made an instant impact in his NFL debut, taking the opening kickoff back for a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown. He also split snaps with Rhamondre Stevenson for the next two drives while the first-team offense was in the game. Henderson's pass catching skills and ability to make defenders miss in space should help the rookie second-round pick play a prominent role on offense out of the gate as the speedy complement to Stevenson's bruising running style. Henderson will look to build on this strong first impression when the Patriots travel to Minnesota on Aug. 16 for their next preseason game.

Since the start of training camp, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has lined Henderson up in various formations in an effort to take advantage of mismatches, Karen Guregian of MassLive Sportsreports.

With that in mind, Guregian notes that it's pretty clear McDaniels believes the explosive 2025 second-rounder -- who has caught screen passes, swing passes and wheel routes downfield during camp practices -- has a chance be a valuable weapon in the passing game this season. Henderson has fifth-year pro Rhamondre Stevenson to contend with for backfield touches, particularly in early-down situations, but the rookie still has enough playmaking upside to make a fantasy impact even in the context of a timeshare that features him and Rhamondre Stevenson, with Antonio Gibson also mixing in.

The Patriots selected Henderson in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 38th overall.

Henderson is the fourth running back off the board and the second Ohio State back to be selected early in the second round after Quinshon Judkins went to Cleveland at 36th overall. A four-year player in Columbus, Henderson was an instant impact performer who rushed for 15 touchdowns as a true freshman. He battled through some injuries as a sophomore and junior and split work with Judkins during Ohio State's championship run in 2024. Henderson checks in at 5-foot-10 and 202 pounds with 4.43 speed that shows up on film with a number of long runs that earned him a label as a home-run hitter. His 75-yard touchdown catch against Texas in the College Football Playoff is a good snapshot of his ability to find space and turn on the jets. Paired with Rhamondre Stevenson, the Patriots now have a great 1-2 punch in the backfield.
