TreVeyon Henderson, the guy who led the Patriots in rushing last season, is still not practicing today, September 5, 2026, because of an ankle injury. This is huge news for our Seattle Seahawks, especially with the regular-season opener against them just days away on Sunday.

Henderson’s Ankle Still Keeping Him Off The Field

This isn’t some new thing. Henderson initially hurt his ankle back on August 24 during practice and hasn’t stepped back onto the field since. Reporters who were at Patriots practice today confirmed he wasn’t participating. The official practice report from New England still hasn’t dropped, so we’re all left guessing if their star will actually suit up.

What This Means for Our Seahawks D-Line

Last season, Henderson was the workhorse for the Patriots, racking up 180 carries for 911 yards and nine touchdowns. That’s some serious production! If he can’t go on Sunday, Rhamondre Stevenson will be the main guy for them, with Corey Kiner, who they traded for with the Cardinals next week, slotting in as No. 2. They’d probably have to call up either Hassan Haskins or Lan Larison from the practice squad just to fill out the roster. This is a chance for our D to make a statement right out of the gate!

It’s the first game of the year, 12s, and our Hawks have a real opportunity here. Keep an eye out for that official practice report, but either way, our defense needs to be ready to feast on Sunday!
