Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson says he was hospitalized after experiencing 'unexplained neurological symptoms'

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson released a statement on social media Friday explaining that his absence from the team is due to "unexplained neurological symptoms" that forced him to be hospitalized. Some of his "physical functions" have also been affected.

Henderson says he was examined, and while the results were "positive and reassuring," doctors have yet to determine a cause.

"Recently, I experienced an unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms that required hospitalization for several days," Henderson wrote. "During that time, I underwent extensive medical testing and evaluation. While the results of my comprehensive medical testing have come back positive and reassuring, the cause of this remains unknown and unexplainable. "I will continue working closely with specialists and physical therapists to focus on my recovery, as these symptoms have affected my strength, coordination, and some of my physical functions. I am committed to doing everything necessary to return to full health. My health and long-term well-being remain my foremost priorities."

The 24-year-old Henderson suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 4 and was initially expected to be out multiple weeks. He did not miss a game as he played against the New York Jets and Chicago Bears, rushing for a total of 40 yards on 10 carries.

Henderson was ruled out of last week's win over the Miami Dolphins due to "illness" and was a non-participant in practice this week for the Patriots.

In two seasons in New England, the 2025 second-round draft pick out of Ohio State has 1,114 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on 232 attempts.
