TreVeyon Henderson’s Two Weeks Off Practice Just Made Our Seahawks Game WAY More Interesting

Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson hasn’t practiced with his team for two weeks, and for us Seattle Seahawks fans, that’s some juicy news right before their Week 1 opener against our boys on Wednesday night. The Patriots dropped the update Sunday, confirming the second-year tailback’s injury status is still very much in doubt for the season kickoff.

Henderson was an absolute critical piece of that New England offense last year, helping them make an AFC Championship run. The dude had an outstanding NFL debut, even snagging a spot on the PFWA All-Rookie Team. He played in all 17 games in 2025, starting four of them, and put up some serious numbers: 911 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns, plus another 221 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. Oh, and get this: he also tied an NFL record for the most games with multiple rushing touchdowns of 50+ yards. So yeah, he’s a game-wrecker, and not having him out there is a massive blow for New England.

While Rhamondre Stevenson is reportedly the “clear-cut starter” at running back for the Patriots, having started 13 games himself last season, Henderson actually finished 2025 with more rushing yards and more touchdowns than Stevenson. Think about that for a second. The Patriots are set to face our Seahawks, in a Super Bowl rematch no less, and they’ve got to be feeling real uncomfortable with their top back sidelined and no definitive word on his availability. You know they’d feel way better with Henderson back in that lineup for Week 1.

Our Seahawks head into New England on Wednesday night for a Super Bowl rematch, and the Patriots are staring down the barrel of potentially missing their most dynamic rusher. This opener just got a whole lot spicier for our boys in green and blue. Let’s see what Mike Macdonald’s defense can do against a Patriots offense possibly without one of its biggest weapons!
