TreVeyon Henderson has missed three games already this year, his prolonged absence is puzzling for New England Patriots fans.
Treveyon Henderson missed the first game of the 2026 season with an ankle injury, and reinjured the same ankle in Week 5 but miraculously return the next week. Henderson missed New England's Week 8 win over Miami due to what the team called an "illness." Henderson has not practiced since Oct. 28. He was added to the injury report with an illness on Oct. 29.
When healthy, Henderson has been splitting backfield duties with Rhamondre Stevenson, who lacks his explosiveness, but has held onto the starting role due to his ability to block for Drake Maye in the passing game.
What is going on with TreVeyon Henderson?
TreVeyon Henderson has missed the last two games with an apparent illness, but news broke last week that he apparently hospitalized after experiencing a medical emergency. Henderson then released a statement saying that he is focused on his recovery and long-term well-being.
"Recently, I experienced an unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms that required hospitalization for several days," Henderson wrote. "During that time, I underwent extensive medical testing and evaluation. While the results of my comprehensive medical testing have come back positive and reassuring, the cause of this remains unknown and unexplainable."
Head coach Mike Vrabel stated that the team will support Henderson throughout his recovery, but did not add a specific timeline for the running back's return to the team.
Is TreVeyon Henderson playing this week?
Henderson is officially ruled out for the Patriots' Week 10 matchup with the Detroit Lions in Munich, Germany.
Stevenson is also out against the Lions after suffering a plantaris tendon injury in his knee last week against the Green Bay Packers.
With the top two running backs in New England unavailable, third string back Corey Kiner is expected to get the bulk of the carries. Beyond him, the Patriots will have second-year back Lan Larison in reserve. Larison has three carries for 10 yards so far this season.
Is Reggie Gilliam playing this week?
The Patriots fullback Reggie Gilliam has officially been taken of the injured reserve this week, but his availability for Week 10 is still uncertain.
New England designated Gilliam to return from injured reserve and he resumed practicing as a limited participant on Wednesday. He is traveling with the team to Munich this weekend, leaving the door open for the patriots to activate him before kickoff.
If he plays, Gilliam will be available on primarily passing downs for the Patriots. He is not expected to see many carries even if healthy.
