Treveyon Henderson is dealing with a medical emergency, the Patriots’ star running back revealed in a social media post on Friday morning.
After he missed last week’s game with what was described as an illness, the situation has lingered for more than a week and will likely cost him this Sunday’s matchup with the Packers.
Henderson described his battle as an “unexpected and unusual medical emergency” involving a series of “unexplained” neurological symptoms.
“Recently, I experienced an unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms that required hospitalization for several days. During that time, I underwent extensive medical testing and evaluation. While the results of my comprehensive medical testing have come back positive and reassuring, the cause of this remains unknown and unexplainable,” Henderson said in a statement.
“I will continue working closely with specialists and physical therapists to focus on my recovery, as these symptoms have affected my strength, coordination, and some of my physical functions. I am committed to doing everything necessary to return to full health.”
Henderson led the Patriots in total offensive yards last season as an explosive ball carrier and receiving threat, helping lead the team to a Super Bowl berth.
The Patriots selected him in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft and it was expected that he would usurp Rhamondre Stevenson as the team’s starter, though that has not yet come to fruition.
“My health and long-term well-being remain my foremost priorities,” Henderson added.
Henderson then explained that his wife and and religion has helped get him through this difficult time.
“I want to thank my wife for being by my side throughout all of this, and most importantly, I want to thank Jesus for giving me a peace that surpasses all understanding. Despite all of this, my heart rejoices in The Lord and my heart is at peace knowing that He is always faithful and His promise of Romans 8:28 always remain true,” Henderson wrote.
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. The purpose of trials in life is not to drive us away from God, but to only bring us closer. May God’s Will be done, not mine. My wife and I are deeply grateful for family and loved ones, the New England Patriots organization, my agent, my medical team, teammates, and everyone who has offered prayers, encouragement, and support. We respectfully ask for continued prayers and privacy as we focus on my health and recovery.”
The Patriots have utilized Corey Kiner as the second string to Stevenson, but their run game remains lackluster at best without Henderson in the fold.
