While Rhamondre Stevenson was injured, New England Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson went off.

Henderson had multiple big games in Stevenson's absence, which led many to believe that he could get a promotion to starter.

However, that is clearly not the case after what we've seen on the Patriots' first drive of the game against the New York Giants on Monday night.

Is TreVeyon Henderson playing tonight?

UPDATE: After a few drives, it looks like we are all the way back to Stevenson getting the majority of the touches in the Pats' backfield. As a result, it might be a rough night for the rookie.

Original Text

Yes, Henderson is active and healthy, he just didn't get the start over Stevenson.

Not surprising, as we figured the Patriots would go back to the way they were doing things before Stevenson's injury, when the veteran was the starter over the rookie.
