New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson has provided an update on the medical condition that has kept him out since last week. In a statement posted on social media Friday, Henderson revealed he experienced an unexpected medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms that required hospitalization for several days.
Henderson said extensive medical testing returned positive and reassuring results, but the cause of his symptoms remains unknown and unexplainable. The symptoms have affected his strength, coordination, and some physical functions. He is working with specialists and physical therapists on his recovery and emphasized that his health and long-term well-being are his foremost priorities.
The 2025 second-round pick rushed 52 times for 203 yards and a touchdown this season, adding five catches for 45 yards. As a rookie last year, he totaled 1,132 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns. Henderson will be out for the foreseeable future while doctors work to determine the cause and treatment.
In his absence, the Patriots will rely on Rhamondre Stevenson as the lead back, with Corey Kiner and Lan Larison providing depth. New England faces the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions over the next two weeks before a bye, then closes the season against the Los Angeles Chargers, Buffalo Bills, Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets, Denver Broncos, and Miami Dolphins.
