Week 2's injury report brought a handful of concerning developments for the Pittsburgh Steelers, including the return of a dynamic playmaker for the New England Patriots.
Courtesy of Wednesday's injury report, Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson, who was ruled out in Week 1 with an ankle setback, returned to practice as a full participant ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was a full participant in practice today. Looks like he'll return in Week 2 and share the backfield with Rhamondre Stevenson.

Drafted by the Patriots in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Henderson had a terrific rookie season in 2025, recording 1,132 yards from scrimmage and 10 total touchdowns despite splitting snaps
with veteran running back Rhamondre Stevenson.
It remains to be seen if New England will take a cautious approach with its talented running back, but Henderson and his game-changing speed would undoubtedly force the Steelers to restrategize whenever he's on the field.
While the Patriots received a huge injury boost with Henderson's return to practice, the same can't be said for the Steelers, as the team saw one of its star wide receivers limited in practice with a surprise setback.
