The Patriots will be without running back TreVeyon Henderson for a while. Henderson suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Raiders and is now expected to sideline him multiple weeks, per league sources, though the injury will not require surgery.
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Raiders that now is expected to sideline him multiple weeks, per league sources. Henderson will not need surgery, and he is regarded as a quick healer, so the Patriots are hoping his return is sooner rather than later.
The setback is a fresh blow for a back who was already working his way back. Beat reporter Mike Reiss framed Henderson and Campbell as the latest to join the Patriots' growing injured ranks — Henderson has been managing an ankle issue since August, an injury that cost him the opener and kept him out of the rotation until recently. Schefter noted Henderson is regarded as a quick healer, so the Patriots are hopeful his return comes sooner rather than later.
Henderson's injury was announced Sunday alongside left tackle Will Campbell's knee issue, the latest additions to a growing Patriots injury list that has already tested the team's depth early in the season. New England, now 3-2, relies on Henderson for change-of-pace carries and screen-game pop behind Stevenson, and his absence will push more work to the committee while he recovers.
