Henderson's Placement on IR
The New England Patriots placed running back TreVeyon Henderson on injured reserve Saturday. The move came eight days after he dealt with an unexpected medical emergency tied to a series of unexplained neurological symptoms. Tests returned positive and reassuring, yet the cause remains unknown. Henderson had already been ruled out for the upcoming game and will miss at least the next four contests.
Running Back Depth Concerns
The team entered the week with just two healthy running backs in Corey Kiner and Lan Larison. Starter Rhamondre Stevenson has been managing a knee tendon injury from last Sunday's loss to the Packers. Stevenson took limited reps in the two practices held in Munich. The absence of any practice squad elevation for a running back ahead of Saturday's deadline suggests the club may proceed with only those two available backs, which falls below the typical roster norm of at least three.
Additional Roster Adjustments
In separate moves, the Patriots activated center/guard Greg Van Roten and fullback Reggie Gilliam from injured reserve to the active roster. They also elevated center/guard Andrew Rupcich from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Detroit Lions at FC Bayern Munich Arena.
