TreVeyon Henderson is facing an unresolved medical crisis that has sidelined the New England Patriots running back for over a week. Henderson released a statement Friday morning detailing a hospital stay caused by unusual neurological symptoms. He has missed practice since last Thursday.
The second-year professional said he required hospitalization for several days due to the emergency. While extensive medical testing has returned positive and reassuring results, the specific cause of his condition remains unknown and unexplainable. Henderson noted that the symptoms have impacted his strength, coordination, and other physical functions.
"While the results of my comprehensive medical testing have come back positive and reassuring, the cause of this remains unknown and unexplainable," Henderson wrote in his statement. He is currently working with specialists and physical therapists to recover. He stated that his long-term well-being is his foremost priority.
Henderson, who was drafted in the second round out of Ohio State in 2025, has accumulated 1,114 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in 23 regular-season games. He also recorded 40 receptions for 266 yards and one touchdown. He was inactive for the Patriots' Week 8 victory over the Dolphins.
The Patriots currently have three other running backs on their active roster: Rhamondre Stevenson, Corey Kiner, and Lan Larison. The team also signed Terrell Jennings to the practice squad this week. These players will likely share duties while Henderson recovers.
The Patriots have the option to place Henderson on the non-football illness list. That move would require him to miss four games. If he is designated to return, he would count toward the team's eight available activations from reserve lists.
Henderson thanked his wife, Jesus, and his medical team in his statement. He asked for continued prayers and privacy as he focuses on his health and recovery.
