Is TreVeyon Henderson playing tonight? Patriots' RB depth chart is confusing image

The New England Patriots have a confusing running back depth chart.

It means that rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson plays less than anyone wants him to.

Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson both see a lot of work, too.

On one play on the Pats' first drive of Sunday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills, Stevenson and Gibson both lined up with Drake Maye in the backfield, but not Henderson.

Is TreVeyon Henderson playing tonight?

Yes, TreVeyon Henderson is active and playing tonight.

The problem is that he's part of a three-man backfield rotation.

That can create long stretches of action in which he doesn't see the football.

But the Pats should get him double-digit touches as the game goes along, if usual patterns are followed.

Especially after Rhamondre Stevenson lost a fumble on the Pats' second drive, it might be TreVeyon time.
