Henderson suffered an ankle injury early in the second quarter and didn’t return.

Heading into the game, Rhamondre Stevenson was the injured back. He was limited in practice all week with a knee injury and was deemed questionable for the game. Over the first three drives, the playing time for the two games was relatively normal, with Stevenson playing 17 snaps to 12 by Henderson before the injury. After the injury, Corey Kiner became the Patriots' second back. Henderson took 75% of the snaps from the fourth to the 10th drive. Kiner closed out the game with a run and kneel-downs. The Patriots have a favorable matchup next week against the New York Jets. If Henderson can’t play, we can expect Stevenson to see at least 70% of the offensive snaps, making him a must-start. Even if Henderson can suit up, next week should be a strong one for Stevenson.

And in what is perhaps a bad sign for Stevenson's availability, the team brought in Jamaal Williams for a workout on Tuesday. Certainly, the Patriots lack depth at running back, with Corey Kiner being the only back on the active roster behind TreVeyon Henderson. Lan Larison, who has two career touches out of the backfield, is on the practice squad...."There's a chance that he can play [Sunday]. Just, there's no chance that he'll practice [Wednesday]," head coach Mike Vrabel said of Stevenson.
