New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel went viral earlier this week when he read off the laundry list of inactives for New England’s Week 17 game against the New York Jets. At the end of the inactives, he reported that Offensive Rookie of the Year front-runner, TreVeyon Henderson, was questionable.
Just one day later, Henderson has cleared concussion protocol and will now enter Sunday without an injury designation.
“#Patriots rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson has cleared concussion protocol and no longer has an injury designation. He’s good to go for tomorrow,” insider Evan Lazar reported on X.
Henderson has had a clean bill of health all season, making him the only running back on the roster who can say that.
He has not missed a game with an injury since September of 2022 as a sophomore at Ohio State University.
I say that to say this: Henderson is not a fragile back with a storied injury history. This makes his clearing concussion protocol in six days rather realistic.
However, with a deep playoff run just around the corner, it will be interesting to see how New England handles their beat-up rookie.
Will TreVeyon Henderson Play Sunday?
In short, yes. All signs point to the fact that the rookie will be rolled out 24 hours after clearing concussion protocol.
