Massive Blow for Patriots as RB TreVeyon Henderson Likely to Miss Multiple Weeks Despite Avoiding Surgery

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is expected to miss multiple weeks after sustaining a high ankle sprain during Sunday's 45-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Henderson suffered the injury in the second quarter following a tackle by safety Jeremy Chinn. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the second-year back will not require surgery, offering the team hope for an earlier return.

With Henderson sidelined, running backs Rhamondre Stevenson and Corey Kiner are slated to take on expanded roles in New England's backfield. The Patriots are also monitoring left tackle Will Campbell, who is considered week-to-week after leaving the same game with a knee injury. The 3-2 Patriots next face the New York Jets.
