TreVeyon Henderson Injury Update
TreVeyon Henderson is officially out for the rest of the New England Patriots' Week 16 clash against the Baltimore Ravens with a head injury. Man, what a gut punch. The rookie sensation, who's been carrying the Pats' run game on his back all season, got leveled in the second quarter Sunday night.DraftKings Sportsbook (@DKSportsbook) posted on X: TreVeyon Henderson ruled OUT with an injury in the 2nd quarter, qualifying for Early Exit coverage through the entire first half.
Tackled hard on a short run, his head slammed into the turf stayed down for a minute, got checked by the docs and Mike Vrabel himself, then walked off gingerly to the tent and eventually the locker room. Patriots first called him questionable, but by halftime, it was done: ruled out. No sugarcoating it, this sucks for a team scraping for every edge late in the year.
Fans are holding their breath because head injuries like this scream concussion protocol. Early word is it's bad timing with playoffs lurking, but at least DraftKings bettors get a break their Early Exit program kicks in for props since he left early in the half. Cash credits for singles, adjusted parlays. Small mercy in a rough night.
What Happened to TreVeyon Henderson?
Henderson got spun around by a Ravens defender on a routine carry, flipped backward, and cracked the back of his head on the field. Oof. He popped up looking wobbly trainers swarmed, Vrabel was right there hovering like a dad at a peewee game. Five carries for three yards up to that point, plus a nine-yard catch, but it all halted there.
Reports from Jeff Zrebiec at The Athletic had him heading to the locker room quick. Patriots announced questionable with a head injury right after, then out for good post-halftime. It's one of those plays that replays in your nightmares if you're a Pats fan rookie finally heating up, and bam.
Reminds me of that time my buddy's kid took a soccer header in high school; shook it off for a week but missed the playoffs. Fingers crossed it's not that drawn out here.
When Will TreVeyon Henderson Return?
No firm timeline yet head injuries mean concussion evaluation first, and the NFL's protocol is no joke. Could be a few days if it's mild, or weeks if it's a full-blown concussion keeping him sidelined into the postseason. Patriots are mum beyond "out for the night," but with Rhamondre Stevenson stepping up (he's solid, reliable in pass pro and all), they'll lean on him and maybe D'Ernest Johnson for backup touches.Patriots Communications (@PatriotsComms) posted on X: Injury Update RB TreVeyon Henderson (head) is questionable to return. The announcement came shortly after he exited the Ravens game in the second quarter.
Real talk: Pats don't want to rush this kid. He's their leading rusher, Offensive Rookie of the Year chatter, and losing him long-term? Nightmare fuel heading into a wild-card hunt. I wouldn't bet on him for Week 17 without clearance, but if it's day-to-day, we might see him jogging at practice midweek. Hope so guy's been electric. Last year, I watched a similar Ohio State back shake off a knock and ball out; here's to Henderson pulling a repeat.
TreVeyon Henderson Stats
Henderson's been a beast through 14 games check this quick snapshot of why Pats fans are panicking:
| Category | Stats | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rushes | 143 | Leads Pats by double digits |
| Rushing Yards | 773 | Averaging ~5.4 YPC, smooth operator |
| Rushing TDs | 7 | Punching it in when it counts |
| Receptions | 34 | Backfield Swiss Army knife |
| Receiving Yards | 212 | One TD versatile threat |
| Total TDs | 8 | Rookie OROY favorite for a reason |
Dude exploded out of Ohio State: 3,761 career rush yards, 42 TDs, plus 77 catches for 853 and six more scores. Freshman year? 1,248 yards, 15 TDs like, whoa. Senior season, another 1,000+. Pats snagged him 38th overall in '25, and he wasted zero time: 100-yard kickoff TD in preseason opener.
This season, he's more than doubled the next guy's yards. Without him Sunday, Stevenson's got the wheel dude's a vet, handles extra carries fine, but it's not the same spark. Patriots backfield feels thinner already. Brutal loss, especially if this head knock lingers.
Look, Henderson's the real deal flashy, tough, that Buckeye grit. Pats were sputtering early against Baltimore anyway, but this amps the worry. Fans, hang tight; He's young, resilient. Get well, kid playoffs need that juice.
