Patriots’ RB TreVeyon Henderson leaves practice early with injury after slipping on field

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson exited Monday’s practice early after slipping on the field. He lost his footing while making a cut during 11‑on‑11 rushing drills, sustaining an evident lower‑leg injury. Team trainers examined him briefly on the sideline before he walked to the training facility under his own power for further evaluation. Reporters on the field said the initial assessment focused on his right leg and ankle. The club has not released an official update on the injury’s severity or his expected return date. The incident raises concerns about the Patriots’ backfield depth with the season opener just two weeks away. Field conditions remained problematic throughout the session; several other players also lost traction on the wet grass. Patriots reporter Mark Daniels noted on social media, “Lots of players fell on the grass today”. Henderson had just returned to practice Monday after missing Saturday night’s session without explanation. Selected in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Ohio State, he finished his rookie campaign with 911 rushing yards and a 5.1‑yard average per carry. He operates in a high‑upside tandem alongside veteran starter Rhamondre Stevenson and remains a critical component of New England’s offensive game plan heading into the 2026 season.
