In Week 6, the New England Patriots faced the New York Jets and got encouraging news about their backfield. Running back TreVeyon Henderson returned to practice despite concerns about an ankle sprain he sustained against the Las Vegas Raiders. Henderson mentioned that he feels good and has surprised himself with his swift recovery.

Henderson's unexpected availability boosts the team's offensive depth, but the roster news is even better. NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported on X that both RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) and LT Will Campbell (ankle), who were listed as questionable, are likely to play against the Jets. Additionally, with AJ Brown returning, the Patriots are nearing full health.

This positive development aligns with earlier medical evaluations for the offensive line. After leaving the game in Week 5 against Las Vegas, left tackle Will Campbell underwent further testing that confirmed he did not suffer a major structural knee injury. NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported that Campbell is considered week-to-week rather than facing a season-ending absence, which is a huge relief for the team.
