News: 2 days agoHenderson (ankle) is not expected to practice Tuesday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Spin: It was revealed earlier Tuesday that an ankle injury forced Henderson from Monday's practice session, and it appears he will not get any work in a day later. Henderson is reportedly moving fine, but Patriots Executive Vice President Eliot Wolf indicated the team is still "working through the situation," so his status remains a bit up in the air at the moment.

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 larger role in 2026, but it's unlikely that Stevenson will completely disappear after he also had a strong 2025. Henderson is safest as a flex option, but there's upside for a lot more if the 23-year-old is promoted to a lead role.
