Henderson timeline and immediate status
TreVeyon Henderson has not practiced since Aug. 24 after suffering an ankle issue and did not take part in Sunday’s work as the team wrapped up its final practice before Week 1. That absence leaves his availability for the opener uncertain.
Local reporter Alex Barth of 98.5 The Sports Hub observed Henderson was once again not at practice on Sunday, and a comment from head coach Mike Vrabel over the weekend that Henderson could return to practice did not materialize.
Depth options and practice-report names
Pats Pulpit reported the team’s Week 1 outlook for Henderson is in doubt and identified Hassan Haskins and Lan Larison as potential elevation candidates from the practice squad if additional backfield help is needed.
The practice notes also referenced Ben Brown and Christian Barmore among the players mentioned as the club closed preparation for the opener. Those names add another layer to the week’s roster conversation as the team finalizes its availability list.
Henderson’s continued absence has sharpened focus on how the staff will deploy its running-back resources for the season opener. If Henderson doesn't play, the team would likely lean on Rhamondre Stevenson as the clear lead back, and fellow running backs Hassan Haskins and Lan Larison loom on New England’s practice squad as candidates for elevation.
This remains a developing situation: Henderson’s recent practice history and the emergence of practice-squad elevation chatter set the immediate narrative, while names in the practice notes will be monitored closely as game day approaches.
