TreVeyon Henderson’s immediate future with the New England Patriots is uncertain after the team placed the running back on injured reserve.
Henderson, who has missed the past two games, disclosed he is managing an “unexpected and unusual medical emergency” involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms that required a multi-day hospitalization. The move to injured reserve sidelines him for a minimum of four games, though no timetable has been established for his return.
The second-year back — a 2024 second-round selection — has been limited to 203 rushing yards and one touchdown across six appearances this season. The condition, he said, has impacted his physical capacity.
Henderson arrived in New England after a decorated career at Ohio State, where he amassed 3,761 rushing yards over four seasons and helped the Buckeyes capture the 2024 College Football Playoff national championship as a senior. Expected to provide an immediate boost to the Patriots’ offense as both a runner and receiver, his rookie campaign has instead been derailed by a mysterious health scare that leaves his career trajectory in doubt.
