In his absence, Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to assume the primary running back duties. The Patriots may also elevate Lan Larison or Hassan Haskins from the practice squad to provide additional depth. (nfl.com)

Henderson had a standout rookie season in 2025, recording 911 rushing yards, 221 receiving yards, and 10 total touchdowns. His dynamic playmaking ability will be missed as the Patriots face a formidable Seahawks defense in this Super Bowl rematch. (foxsports.com)

The Patriots have also ruled out backup offensive lineman Ben Brown due to a knee injury. Defensive lineman Christian Barmore, who was previously listed on the injury report, has been cleared to play. (bostonglobe.com)
