The New England Patriots defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 45-17 on Sunday, but the victory came at a cost. Rookie running back Tre Veyon Henderson and starting left tackle Will Campbell both exited in the first half with injuries. Henderson injured an ankle on an 11-yard run early in the second quarter, while Campbell suffered a right knee injury when landed on during a 4-yard run.
Both were officially ruled out midway through the third quarter. Henderson entered the game second on the team with 141 rushing yards, while Campbell, a 2025 first-round pick, is recovering from last season's MCL tear. Veteran Morgan Moses noted Campbell was walking and in good spirits despite the setback.
With Henderson out, Corey Kiner stepped in, recording 52 yards on six carries but losing a fumble. Caleb Lomu replaced Campbell at left tackle. The Patriots, now 3-2, host the Jets next Sunday.
Coach Mike Vrabel did not provide an update on the players' statuses after the game.
