The rookie running back suffered the injury after New England's win over the Raiders, reigniting an earlier ankle issue from this season.
TreVeyon Henderson is headed to the sideline for a while. Sources tell ESPN the Patriots rookie running back is expected to miss multiple weeks with a high ankle sprain, an injury that follows an earlier ankle problem he dealt with this season.
The setback comes right after New England's win over the Raiders, which is the kind of timing that makes a backfield situation suddenly complicated. Henderson had been a notable piece of the Patriots' offensive plans, and now the team has to figure out how to fill the gap while he recovers.
There is no firm return date yet, but the "multiple weeks" framing suggests this is not a quick fix. New England will need to lean on its other backfield options in the meantime as it prepares for upcoming games, with Henderson's progress something the team will be monitoring closely in the weeks ahead.
