New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson provided an update Friday on the illness that has kept him out since last week, describing it as an "unknown and unexplainable" medical emergency involving neurological symptoms that required hospitalization.
In a statement posted on Twitter, Henderson said he experienced an unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms that required hospitalization for several days. He underwent extensive medical testing and evaluation, with results coming back positive and reassuring, though the cause remains unknown. Henderson said the symptoms have affected his strength, coordination, and some physical functions, and he will continue working with specialists and physical therapists on his recovery. He expressed gratitude to his wife, his faith, the Patriots organization, his agent, medical team, teammates, and supporters, and asked for continued prayers and privacy.
Henderson has been out since the Patriots' Week 8 game against the Miami Dolphins and missed practice this week. He rushed 52 times for 203 yards and a touchdown this season, adding five catches for 45 yards. As a rookie in 2024, he totaled 1,132 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns after being selected near the top of the second round in the 2025 NFL Draft. In his absence, the Patriots will rely on Rhamondre Stevenson as the lead back, with Corey Kiner and Lan Larison also in the mix. New England faces the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions over the next two weeks before their bye week, followed by games against the Los Angeles Chargers, Buffalo Bills, Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets, Denver Broncos, and Dolphins.
