New England Patriots running back Treylon Henderson, 24, has revealed he is experiencing unexplained neurological symptoms, forcing his indefinite absence from the team.
In a social media statement released on November 6, Henderson confirmed a recent medical emergency involving a series of neurological issues that have impacted his muscle strength, coordination, and physical functions, according to a report by the Hwadam Ilbo.
The situation developed rapidly. Henderson practiced twice after the Patriots’ loss to the Chicago Bears on October 22. He was then listed on the injury report with an illness on October 29 and has not practiced since. His absence was confirmed for the team’s subsequent victory against the Miami Dolphins, directly linking his sidelining to the escalating medical issue.
While Henderson stated that his test results are positive and reassuring, the cause of his symptoms remains unknown. He placed his long-term well-being as the top priority, emphasizing his commitment to taking all necessary steps for a full recovery. The Patriots and Henderson have not disclosed further details about his medical condition.
“I and my wife want to express our deepest gratitude to our family, close friends, the New England Patriots organization, my agent, the medical staff, my teammates, and everyone who has offered prayers, encouragement, and support,” Henderson said in his statement, as reported by the Hwadam Ilbo.
In six games, he had carried the ball 52 times for 203 yards and one rushing touchdown, adding five receptions for 45 yards.
Henderson is now working closely with physicians and physical therapists to manage his recovery process. The immediate next step is continued medical treatment and rehabilitation. There is no official timeline for his potential return to the field. The team will provide updates on his status through official injury reports as new information becomes available.
