Henderson says testing came back reassuring but doctors still cannot explain what caused the neurological episode.
TreVeyon Henderson revealed Friday that he was hospitalized for several days after an unexpected medical emergency involving unexplained neurological symptoms. In a personal statement, the Patriots running back said he underwent extensive medical testing and evaluation during his hospital stay.
Henderson said the results of that testing came back positive and reassuring, but the actual cause of the episode remains unknown. He added that the symptoms have affected his strength, and that he will keep working with specialists and physical therapists as he focuses on recovery.
The 24-year-old former Ohio State standout had already missed New England's Week 8 game against the Dolphins, which was attributed to illness at the time. He has remained absent from practice since, and the situation has now stretched beyond a week with no clear timetable for his return.
Henderson is considered unlikely to play in the Patriots' upcoming game against the Packers. For now, his health is the only priority, and the team has not indicated when he might be cleared to resume football activities.
