TreVeyon Henderson Emerges as the Primary Ball-Carrier in New England
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson wasted no time solidifying himself in the lead-back role upon his return from injury. After Rhamondre Stevenson had 23 touches on an 85% snap share in Week 1, there was some speculation that he and Henderson would split the backfield snaps in Week 2. While they did have a relatively even 60/40 split in terms of snaps, Henderson out-touchded Stevenson 16 to 7. Additionally, Stevenson had a fumble while Henderson had a touchdown, further widening the gap between the two backs. Henderson finished his season debut with 16 carries, 76 rushing yards, and one touchdown, resulting in a solid 14.6-point outing in most fantasy leagues. Assuming he continues to handle the bulk of the volume out of the backfield, the 23-year-old will be a high-end RB2 with RB1 upside going forward.

TreVeyon Henderson Scores TD in Solid Week 2 Effort
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson contributed to his team's blowout win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2, rushing for 76 yards on 16 carries and scoring a touchdown. The 23-year-old Ohio State product outplayed the Patriots' de facto RB1 Rhamondre Stevenson, who had six carries for 43 yards on Sunday. Henderson, who missed Week 1 with an ankle injury, had 180 carries for 911 yards and nine touchdowns over 17 regular season games his rookie season for the Patriots, adding 35 receptions for 221 yards and one touchdown in the air over that span. RotoBaller lists Henderson at RB41 in the position rankings, and his fantasy stock should go up if he continues to produce at this level.

TreVeyon Henderson Likely Splitting the Workload in His Return
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson will make his season debut on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Henderson missed Week 1 due to an ankle injury, but his absence was short-lived, as he has been cleared to return in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. At this point, we expect Henderson to share snaps with Rhamondre Stevenson, who drew the start in the season opener. Stevenson had 23 touches last week, and he played a major role in the receiving game. We wouldn't be shocked to see both Henderson and Stevenson log at least 10-15 touches this Sunday, especially with wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) no longer involved on offense after he was placed on injured reserve. Henderson has jumped to RB41 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings, but managers would be justified starting him as an RB3/flex in Week 2.

TreVeyon Henderson Officially Cleared for Week 2
New England Patriots second-year running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) practiced in full all week and was not on the team's final injury report on Friday, clearing the way for him to make his season debut on Sunday in a Week 2 matchup against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers, per the team's official website. The 23-year-old former Ohio State star RB was held out of the Week 1 season-opening loss last Wednesday to the Seattle Seahawks due to an ankle injury that he suffered late in training camp. He has made great progress this week, though, and is ready to rejoin a backfield that also includes Rhamondre Stevenson. The Patriots' coaching staff still has plenty of trust in Stevenson, but he averaged a paltry 2.8 yards per carry last week, and they will surely welcome Henderson and his explosive backfield abilities back into the fold. In what should be a near-even timeshare between Stevenson and Henderson, Henderson should not be much more than an RB3/flex option for fantasy managers in his 2026 debut.

TreVeyon Henderson Says He's "Ready to Go"
New England Patriots second-year running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) missed the Week 1 season-opening loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl rematch last Wednesday night, but he was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and said on Thursday that he is "ready to go," according to Evan Lazar of the team's official website. The Patriots could still ease the former Ohio State star back into their backfield, but it is looking very likely that he will make his season debut in the Week 2 tilt at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday. When both Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson are healthy, they are expected to split New England's backfield in half, which makes them both basically RB3/flex options every week when they are both healthy. Henderson's impending return is definitely bad news for Stevenson, who averaged just 2.8 yards per carry on 18 rushing attempts in last week's loss to the Seahawks. Henderson is already rostered in 93% of Yahoo leagues after he had 911 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns in 17 regular-season games in his first NFL season in 2025.

TreVeyon Henderson Listed as Full Practice Participant
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday. Henderson suffered an ankle injury in training camp in late August that kept him from suiting up in the Week 1 season-opening loss to the Seattle Seahawks last Wednesday night. But now that he is back as a full-go early in the week at practice, the second-year back seems destined to make his 2026 debut on Sunday in a Week 2 clash against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers. In the loss to the Seahawks, Stevenson handled 18 rushing attempts for just 51 yards (2.8 yards per carry) while adding five catches on six targets for 44 yards through the air. The impending return of Henderson is bad news for Stevenson's fantasy managers going into Week 2, as the two are expected to split New England's backfield pretty evenly again this year. The 23-year-old Henderson had an impressive 911 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns in 17 regular-season games as a rookie and will be on the RB3/flex radar this weekend if he is officially cleared to play later this week.

TreVeyon Henderson Making Progress, Expected to do More Wednesday
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said that running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is making progress after returning to practice on Monday, and he should be able to do more in practice on Wednesday, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. "Hopefully, that continues to trend in the right direction," Vrabel said. Henderson was inactive in the Week 1 season-opening loss to the Seattle Seahawks last Wednesday night after suffering an ankle injury late in training camp on Aug. 24. His return to practice this week is a good sign, but it does not guarantee that he will make his return this weekend for a Week 2 tilt against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers. In Henderson's absence last week, Rhamondre Stevenson handled 18 carries for 51 yards and caught five of six targets for 44 yards as a receiver, with Corey Kiner backing him up. Even if Henderson is cleared to make his 2026 debut this Sunday against Pittsburgh, he could be eased in behind Stevenson and should be considered no more than a shaky RB3/flex option in fantasy football.

TreVeyon Henderson to Return to Practice on Monday
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) will return to practice on Monday, head coach Mike Vrabel told Mike Reiss of ESPN. Henderson was unable to practice all of last week before being ruled out for the Week 1 season-opening loss last Wednesday to the Seattle Seahawks. The fact that the 23-year-old will return early this week suggests that he will have a legitimate chance to make his 2026 debut in Week 2 this Sunday when the team squares off against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In his absence, Rhamondre Stevenson handled 18 rushing attempts for 51 yards (2.8 yards per carry) while catching five of six targets for 44 yards through the air. Corey Kiner backed him up and had only six carries for 11 yards as the RB2. If Henderson is cleared for Week 2 later this week, he is expected to split backfield work with Stevenson, although the Pats could ease Henderson in after he missed the last few weeks of training camp with his ankle injury. At best, Henderson will be a shaky RB3/flex option for fantasy managers if he plays against Pittsburgh.

Vrabel: TreVeyon Henderson Could Practice This Week
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) could return to practice this week as the team prepares to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Head coach Mike Vrabel told the media on Monday, "Hopefully we'll get him out to practice here in the next few days." Henderson missed Week 1's 13-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks with an ankle injury he sustained on August 24th after slipping while making a cut. With the second-year back out, Rhamondre Stevenson handled 18 carries and six targets, totaling 95 scrimmage yards. If Henderson returns in Week 2, fantasy managers should still expect a heavy dose of Stevenson, though the Patriots will likely utilize a similar committee to the one they used in the 2025 season.

TreVeyon Henderson Ruled Out for Season Opener on Thursday
New England Patriots second-year running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) has officially been ruled out for the Week 1 season opener on Thursday and a rematch of last year's Super Bowl against the Seattle Seahawks after he did not practice all week, according to the team. Henderson's ankle injury is not considered long-term, but it remains to be seen if he will be ready for his 2026 season debut in Week 2 next Sunday, Sept. 20, versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in the team's home opener. With Henderson sidelined this Thursday in a tough matchup against a strong Seahawks defense, Rhamondre Stevenson should see the lion's share of touches out of the backfield while being spelled by Corey Kiner. With New England's backfield a little thin out of the gate, expect to see the Patriots bring up Lan Larison from the practice squad to serve as the RB3 against Seattle. The 23-year-old Henderson had a solid rookie season in 2025 with over 900 rushing yards and 10 total touchdowns in the regular season, but he remains in a timeshare with Stevenson when he is healthy, and his early-season fantasy stock is down because of his ankle injury.

TreVeyon Henderson Remains Sidelined Saturday
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was not present for the media-access portion of Saturday's practice, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. Henderson has not practiced since injuring his right ankle on Aug. 24. A report late last month said he had avoided a serious injury and was expected to be ready for Week 1, but the second-year back still has not made it onto the field with New England's opener four days away. Henderson ran for 911 yards and nine touchdowns on 180 carries as a rookie, adding 35 catches for 221 yards and another score. The Patriots will issue their first injury report of the season later Saturday, which should give a clearer picture of where Henderson stands for Wednesday night's game in Seattle.

TreVeyon Henderson in Street Clothes for Saturday's Practice
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is in street clothes for the team's practice on Saturday, according to Andrew Callahan of The Boston Herald. Henderson tweaked his ankle in practice early last week and has not returned since, putting his availability for the Week 1 regular-season opener against the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday firmly in question. His injury and the fact that he did not stand out as a pass protector in training camp have caused backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson to become more attractive in fantasy football drafts in New England's backfield. When Henderson is healthy, he will have a significant role alongside Stevenson after rushing for 911 yards and nine rushing touchdowns on 180 carries as a rookie in 2025, but it is clear that head coach Mike Vrabel still has a ton of trust in Stevenson. At RotoBaller, Stevenson is ranked as the RB23 with the season opener in less than a week, with Henderson checking in at No. 29 at the RB position. If Henderson is out or limited in the Super Bowl rematch next week, Corey Kiner would be in line to work as the RB2 behind Stevenson.

TreVeyon Henderson Missing From Thursday's Practice
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was missing from Thursday's practice due to an ongoing ankle injury that he suffered early last week, according to Evan Lazar of the team's official website. The Patriots have been saying that Henderson escaped a major injury, but after not practicing for the last 10 days, fantasy managers have to be wondering if the 23-year-old will be active for a Super Bowl rematch against the Seattle Seahawks next Wednesday night to kick off the 2026 regular season. The second-year back's ankle injury has caused Rhamondre Stevenson to jump ahead of him on most fantasy football draft boards as New England's RB1 to open the new season. After being taken in the second round in last year's draft out of Ohio State, Henderson had an impressive 911 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on 180 carries in 17 regular-season games, adding 35 receptions for 221 yards and one receiving TD. But Henderson was barely used in the playoff run to the Super Bowl, and he had not taken the next step in pass protection in training camp before his ankle injury. It will be hard to recommend Henderson as an RB3/flex play if he is active next Wednesday against a strong Seattle backfield, with the chance that he is limited from a workload perspective while sharing the backfield with Stevenson.

TreVeyon Henderson Not Cleared for Full Practice Participation
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) continues to rehab a right-ankle injury that he suffered last Monday in training camp practice, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss. Henderson was present in the locker room on Tuesday and was walking normally, but he has not yet been cleared for a return to full participation. The 23-year-old second-year back's injury does not appear to be serious, but the Patriots are playing it safe in hopes that Henderson will be ready for the Week 1 season opener on Wednesday, Sept. 9, against the Seattle Seahawks in a rematch of the Super Bowl. It may not be a serious injury, but Henderson is running out of time, and the Patriots could limit his workload next Wednesday if he is active. The former second-rounder last year from Ohio State was productive with 911 rushing yards and nine rushing scores on 180 carries in 17 regular-season games, adding 35 catches for 221 yards and another touchdown through the air. However, he was a liability in pass protection and did not make strides in that area this summer in training camp. Therefore, Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson will continue to split backfield work nearly down the middle. Fantasy managers should treat Henderson as a low-end RB2/high-end RB3/flex as he enters Year 2.

TreVeyon Henderson's Lead-Back Case Takes a Hit
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) entered camp with a chance to push for more of the backfield. That never really happened. Henderson was explosive as a rookie, finishing with 911 rushing yards, 221 receiving yards and 10 total touchdowns, but New England leaned heavily on Rhamondre Stevenson during the playoffs. That carried into August. Patriots.com called Stevenson the team's most consistent between-the-tackles runner, pass protector and route-runner and said he remains the lead back, while Henderson was described more as a change-of-pace option. Henderson also hurt his right ankle when he slipped during practice on Aug. 24. He avoided a serious injury and is expected to be ready for Week 1, so the ankle itself isn't the biggest concern. The bigger issue is that the expected Year 2 role growth never showed up. Henderson still has enough speed to create fantasy points on limited touches, but his path to taking over this backfield looks weaker than it did entering camp.

TreVeyon Henderson Should be "Good to Go" for Week 1
New England Patriots second-year running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) should be "good to go" for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, with a league source telling The Boston Globe's Christopher Price that he avoided a serious right-ankle injury when he slipped on the turf at practice earlier this week. Unsurprisingly, Henderson, who missed practice this week after tweaking his ankle, did not travel with the team for their preseason finale against the Cleveland Browns as a precaution. The 23-year-old has improved since injuring his ankle earlier this week, but we will continue to keep tabs on his status as the Week 1 season opener quickly approaches in early September. The former second-rounder from Ohio State will split the backfield with Rhamondre Stevenson in his sophomore campaign after producing an impressive 911 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns on 180 carries in 17 regular-season games in 2025. He added 35 catches for 221 yards and another score as a receiver. Henderson's lack of progress in pass-blocking is a concern for his overall fantasy upside, though, which could cap his ceiling in Year 2 as an RB3/flex play if Stevenson stays healthy throughout the year.

TreVeyon Henderson's Status Uncertain After Monday Exit
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is unlikely to practice Tuesday after leaving Monday's session early. Executive vice president Eliot Wolf told Doug Kyed that the Patriots are still "working through that situation." Henderson appeared to hurt his right foot or ankle after slipping while trying to make a cut Monday, then went inside after being checked by the training staff and did not return. The second-year back is coming off a strong rookie season, rushing 180 times for 911 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging 5.1 yards per carry. He also caught 35 passes for 221 yards and another score. New England hasn't put a timetable on Henderson's absence, so there isn't enough here yet to make assumptions about Week 1. For now, his status bears watching after an early exit followed by another expected day off the field.

TreVeyon Henderson Undergoing "Precautionary Tests" on his Ankle
New England Patriots second-year running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is undergoing some "precautionary tests" done on his right ankle, but he is walking and moving around fine, a league source told Christopher Price of The Boston Globe. Henderson's injury is being described as a lower-ankle issue that he suffered in training camp practice on Monday when he slipped on the turf. Before his injury, he was not expected to play in the preseason finale this Thursday against the Cleveland Browns. Price thinks that the next time we will see Henderson at practice will be in the days leading up to the Week 1 regular-season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. It sounds like the Ohio State product will not have to miss time to begin the season, but we will keep a close eye on his status in the next few weeks. If he is limited or out for Week 1, Rhamondre Stevenson will become a must-start in fantasy lineups, with either Lan Larison or rookie Jam Miller having an expanded role as the RB2 for the Pats. Despite the injury, fantasy managers should still be targeting Henderson as an RB3/flex option with upside going into his second year in the NFL.

TreVeyon Henderson Dealing With Leg/Ankle Injury
Updating a previous report, New England Patriots second-year running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle, leg) left the team's training camp practice on Monday early with a right-leg/ankle injury, according to Mike Kadlick of Sports Illustrated. It is unclear right now if it is a serious injury for Henderson, but we'll keep close tabs on his progress for the rest of the week and leading up to the team's Week 1 regular-season opener against the Seattle Seahawks in early September. If Henderson is good to go for the start of the season, he is expected to be involved in a 50-50 timeshare with Rhamondre Stevenson in New England's backfield in Year 2. The 23-year-old former second-rounder from Ohio State impressed as a rookie, running for 911 yards and nine touchdowns on 180 carries while adding 35 catches for 221 yards and another TD through the air. Henderson has not really improved his pass-blocking skills, though, and a timeshare with Stevenson will leave his fantasy upside capped as an RB3/flex target in upcoming drafts. If Henderson's injury keeps him out of Week 1, Lan Larison and rookie Jam Miller will be competing for RB2 duties behind Stevenson over the next couple of weeks.

TreVeyon Henderson Departs Practice Early With Potential Injury
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (undisclosed) did not finish Monday's training camp practice after slipping on a cut, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. It is unclear exactly what Henderson did or what his specific injury is, but it is something that we will be keeping a close eye on for the rest of the day and into Tuesday. If it's a significant injury that keeps Henderson from suiting up for Week 1 of the regular season in a Super Bowl rematch against the Seattle Seahawks, it would boost Rhamondre Stevenson's fantasy football value tremendously, with Lan Larison and rookie Jam Miller becoming a big part of the team's backfield. Henderson, a second-rounder from Ohio State last year, ran for 911 yards and nine touchdowns on 180 carries in his first NFL season, adding 35 catches for 221 yards and another score as a receiver. When healthy, he is expected to be in a 50-50 backfield split with Stevenson in 2026, which makes him more of an RB3/flex target in single-year redraft leagues. Check back for an injury update on Henderson on Monday.
