TreVeyon Henderson Put on IR by Patriots Amid Medical Condition, 'Unexplained Neurological Symptoms'

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson will miss at least another month with the neurological issue that has sidelined him for two games.

The Patriots announced Saturday Henderson has been placed on injured reserve ahead of Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions in Munich, Germany.

Henderson last played in Week 7 during an Oct. 22 matchup at the Chicago Bears.

He said in a Nov. 6 statement he had since experienced a "medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms that required hospitalization for several days."

The Patriots have a Week 11 bye. Henderson would be eligible for activation from IR at the earliest ahead of Week 15, during which the Patriots are slated for a Dec. 21 matchup at the Kansas City Chiefs.

Henderson said in his statement the neurological symptoms he was experiencing had "affected my strength, coordination, and some of my physical functions."

The running back also said medical testing provided "positive and reassuring" answers but had yet to reveal a cause for his symptoms.

"I am committed to doing everything necessary to return to full health," Henderson wrote. "My health and long-term well-being will remain my foremost priorities."

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said Friday Henderson would not be traveling with his team to Munich.

"In terms of how he's doing, I talk to TreVeyon every day," Vrabel said. "And just like everybody else that's not available, he's working hard to get back, and when that is, I don't know. I don't have a timetable, but I love my interactions with him. I love talking with him and seeing how he's doing."

Henderson was coming off a 2025 rookie season in which he led the Patriots with 911 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns during the regular season, then saw his workload dip in favor of Rhamondre Stevenson on the Pats' way to Super Bowl LX.

The second-year back had recorded 203 rushing yards and one touchdown through six games of a season during which he was limited by a high ankle sprain before his most recent health issues.

Stevenson, who has led the Patriots with 399 rushing yards in nine games this season, was limited in practice this week with a knee injury. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Monday Stevenson "is expected to miss the next few weeks because of plantaris tendon issue in the back of his knee."

The Patriots did not activate a running back to the roster when placing Henderson on injured reserve Saturday, which the Boston Herald's Doug Kyed noted could be a sign Henderson will be available Sunday.

As long as Stevenson is available, Vrabel is likely to continue looking for him to lead the Patriots' run game as Corey Kiner and Lan Larison provide backfield depth down this next stretch without Henderson.
