Why TreVeyon Henderson isn't playing for Patriots with injury update image

It had already been a rough start for TreVeyon Henderson.

And then he got injured.

The New England Patriots' rookie running back was coming off a massive game a week ago against Buffalo.

But everything changed for him in the second quarter on Sunday Night Football.

Why isn't TreVeyon Henderson playing?

Henderson isn't playing because he left the game after a hard fall on the back of his head.

The rookie from Ohio State is being evaluated for a concussion.

The Patriots ruled him questionable to return.

Without Henderson, it's Rhamondre Stevenson getting pretty much all the work as opposed to the conceptual 50-50 split.

The Patriots also have veteran D'Ernest Johnson active as a RB on Sunday night.
