It's easy to forget, given that TreVeyon Henderson finally had his breakout game with touchdown runs of 55 and 69 yards on Sunday for the New England Patriots.
But it wasn't Henderson who was given the first carry of that Week 10 contest by the Pats.
No, the first run went to Terrell Jennings.
Part of Henderson's breakthrough came in the second half after Jennings had gotten injured. That's not to say it wouldn't have happened. But it's worth noting.
It's a quick turnaround for the Patriots now, taking on the New York Jets to open Week 11 on Thursday Night Football.
Jennings is dinged up, and that could end up mattering for Henderson's night.

Is Terrell Jennings playing tonight?
Jennings is officially questionable for Thursday night.
He got in a couple of limited practices this week while dealing with a knee injury.
If Jennings plays, it limits Henderson's upside a bit. The rookie got 14 carries two weeks ago with Jennings also out there, so he's likely looking at a similar number even in something resembling a timeshare. But the Pats will have that alternative.
If Jennings is out, it probably leaves D'Ernest Johnson (or another practice squad promotion) as Henderson's backup, and New England doesn't seem as inclined to give him touches. In that scenario, Henderson probably gets 20 or more touches against an overmatched Jets team.
Inactives come out about 6:50 p.m. ET.
For fantasy players, Henderson is worth starting either way. He's a much safer play if Jennings is out, though.
