"That meant they could be down a long list of starters in their next matchup with the Jets this week, or even longer, especially since three players were in concussion protocol. One of them was running back TreVeyon Henderson, who has become an integral part of their offensive success over the past month, and was seen at practice in a red non-contact jersey."
"While it was a good sign that he was able to practice, it wasn't ideal that he couldn't fully participate like his teammates. But that changed on Friday, as Henderson was back at practice without the red jersey, and it's fair to assume he will be active for Sunday's game, if not, at least able to play if the Patriots deem it necessary."
"Given where they are in the season and knowing they have already clinched the playoffs, there's a good chance the Patriots will keep some of their injured players sidelined until the postseason begins to avoid the risk of further injury. That could be the case with Henderson, who got banged up in last week's primetime showdown, and the majority of the run game could be put on the shoulders of Rhamondre Stevenson."
Teams enter the end of the NFL season with many players injured and limited depth, and the Patriots lost several players early in the game against the Ravens. Three players entered concussion protocol, including running back TreVeyon Henderson, who practiced in a red non-contact jersey before returning to full practice without the red jersey on Friday. Henderson is expected to be active for the game against the Jets or at least available if needed. With the Patriots having clinched a playoff spot, the team may rest injured players until the postseason, placing the bulk of rushing duties on Rhamondre Stevenson.
