The New England Patriots have three injury concerns at running back this week, as TreVeyon Henderson, Rhamondre Stevenson and Terrell Jennings are all banged-up.

Stevenson has missed the last two games with a toe injury, and Henderson and Jennings are both dealing with knee issues suffered in Week 10.

Henderson is coming off his best game as a pro after he torched the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for 147 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 14 attempts, two of which were long scoring runs.

We'll be keeping an eye on Henderson's practice participation throughout the week to make sure he suits up in Week 11 against the New York Jets. Here's the latest update on Henderson's status.

Will TreVeyon Henderson play in Week 11?

There is no definitive answer as of this writing, but it's looking good for the rookie's chances of suiting up in Week 11.

According to the Patriots' injury report, Henderson was limited on Monday and then a full participant on Tuesday.

Both injury reports were estimations because the Pats held a walkthrough, but the fact that Henderson was upgraded from Monday to Tuesday is a strong indication he's going to play.

Meanwhile, Stevenson and Jennings have been limited on both days, so their statuses are far shakier. Both players will have one more day to get right. The Patriots will drop their final injury report of the week later in the day.

If Stevenson and Jennings both sit, Henderson will be in line for a monster workload. However, if Stevenson plays, we'll likely see a 50/50 split, at best, between Stevenson and Henderson, with the edge going to the former when it comes to who would get more touches.
