TreVeyon Henderson, the New England Patriots’ second-year running back, has rushed for 203 yards and just one touchdown on 52 carries through six games in the 2026 season. A high-ankle sprain in Week 5 and subsequent limited snaps behind lead back Rhamondre Stevenson have already restricted his workload, and he has now missed multiple games due to illness. Most recently, Henderson was hospitalized for several days with unexplained neurological symptoms affecting strength, coordination, and physical function; medical tests returned reassuring results, but the cause remains unknown and no return timeline has been provided. The Patriots’ backfield committee approach and Henderson’s ongoing health questions create significant uncertainty for his remaining opportunities in a 17-game schedule.
