Henderson Out For Four Games Minimum
The New England Patriots have placed running back TreVeyon Henderson on injured reserve. This decision comes eight days after the player revealed he experienced a sudden medical emergency that involved unexplained neurological symptoms.
Henderson was already ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Detroit Lions at FC Bayern Munich Arena. Going on injured reserve means he will miss at least the next four matches for New England.
The player stated on social media that his medical tests have been positive and reassuring. However, he added that the exact cause of his condition remains unknown and unexplainable.
Backfield Options Ahead Of Lions Clash
With Henderson sidelined, New England has faced challenges in their running back room. Earlier in the week, Corey Kiner and Lan Larison were the only fully healthy running backs on the roster.
Starter Rhamondre Stevenson has been dealing with a knee tendon issue suffered during last week's loss to the Green Bay Packers. Stevenson was able to participate on a limited basis during two team practices in Munich.
Head coach Mike Vrabel said on Friday that Stevenson was feeling pretty good. Vrabel gave the same update regarding wide receiver A.J. Brown, who missed the past two games because of a knee flare up.
Roster Moves And Sunday Lineup
The Patriots might have Stevenson ready for Sunday. The deadline to promote players from the practice squad passed on Saturday without New England calling up another running back. Entering a game with only two running backs is rare, as most teams usually travel with at least three.
New England made several other changes to their squad before the game. They activated center guard Greg Van Roten and fullback Reggie Gilliam from injured reserve to the active roster.
The team also brought up center guard Andrew Rupcich from the practice squad to help bolster their group for the contest in Germany.
