New England Patriots running back Tre Veyon Henderson says a series of "unexplained neurological symptoms" is the reason for his recent absence. Henderson has not practised since late October, when he was listed as having an illness, and missed Sunday's 24-19 victory over the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.
The player revealed in a social media post on Friday that he has spent a number of days in hospital after issues with his strength and coordination. The cause of the problem remains "unknown and unexplainable," although Henderson says results have been "reassuring."
He wrote: "I will continue working closely with my 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. My health and long-term well-being remain my foremost priorities." He closed by asking for "continued prayers and privacy as we focus on my health and recovery."
The Patriots host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, a game the 24-year-old is expected to miss. Henderson has made six appearances this season, with one touchdown and 203 rushing yards from 52 attempts. The Virginia-born player was selected by the Patriots in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft as the 38th overall pick. In his rookie year, he played in every regular-season game, amassing 911 rushing yards on 180 carries with nine touchdowns.
