TreVeyon Henderson was surrounded in the backfield.

The New England Patriots' RB couldn't escape the Houston Texans, and when he was brought down, he got injured.

The play was whistled dead, and trainers came out to check on Henderson.

Eventually, he jogged off, but reporters on the scene thought it looked like Henderson may have hurt his collarbone area.

UPDATE:  Henderson returned on the following drive.

The Patriots, from a depth perspective, are OK if Henderson misses time. Rhamondre Stevenson is a well-rounded running back.

But Henderson has an explosiveness that Stevenson lacks, and he allows the Pats to keep everyone fresh.

Henderson was still being checked out by trainers when he got to the sideline, although his helmet was still on, too.

It remains to be seen whether Henderson can get back in.
