News: 1 day agoCoach Mike Vrabel said Friday that Henderson (illness) is working hard to get back, while acknowledging that he doesn't have a timetable for when that may occur, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Spin: On the topic of when the running back might return, Vrabel noted Friday, "when that is, I don't know. I don't have a timetable." Henderson, who last saw game action in Week 7, has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, and based on Vrabel's statement, the 2025 second-rounder's status beyond the Patriots' Week 11 bye is unclear. Fellow RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) returned to a limited practice Thursday, but if he ends up being held out this weekend, Corey Kiner, followed by Lan Larison, would be next up for the team's backfield work versus Detroit, with Terrell Jennings representing a possible practice squad elevation.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Henderson enters Year 2 after a roller-coaster rookie campaign in which he delivered three huge fantasy performances (28-plus points in all three) but otherwise played second fiddle to Rhamondre Stevenson (8.3 points per game in his other 14 games). Though his role was limited, Henderson was effective, averaging 5.1 yards per carry (eighth best) and catching 83% of his targets while scoring 10 touchdowns. The 2025 second-round pick is a candidate for a similar role in 2026, but it's unlikely that Stevenson will completely disappear after he also had a strong 2025. Henderson is safest as a bench option, but there's upside for a lot more if the 23-year-old is promoted to a lead role.
