TreVeyon Henderson shakes off ankle issue to produce 40 yards vs. NYJ
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson ran seven times for 31 yards in a Week 6 win over the New York Jets.
Why It Matters: Henderson was limited in practice all week, but it never seemed likely that he was going to play one week after reportedly suffering a high-ankle sprain. While he deserves credit for suiting up, the injury likely played a role in his inability to break his trademark big play. Since posting season highs of 16 carries, 76 yards and his lone touchdown in Week 2 against Pittsburgh, Henderson has gained just 118 yards in his last four games. After scoring 10 times last season, he has only one this season and is no better than a RB3/Flex option at this point. That should be the case again in Week 7 versus the Bears.
