Should I Start TreVeyon Henderson?

Saturday, September 5, 10:44 AM

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.
