New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, according to the injury report. That means he is trending toward playing in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers as he continues to recover from an ankle injury.
Henderson did not play in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks due to the injury. His ability to handle a full practice workload is a significant hurdle that he has cleared, signifying that he is on track to join Rhamondre Stevenson in New England’s offensive backfield against the Steelers. Stevenson handled most of the rushing duties in the opener, though Henderson’s return will split duties between both ball-carriers.
The 23-year-old Henderson rushed for 911 yards and nine touchdowns
as a rookie in 2025. He also recorded 221 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown on the year.
The Patriots will continue to monitor Henderson through the remainder of the practice week before determining whether he will be available against Pittsburgh. A return in Week 2 will give New England another playmaker as it looks to establish more consistency on offense.
