Henderson went down hard in the second quarter after taking a tackle from Ravens safety Alohi Gilman. The Ohio State product was attempting to advance following a first-down play with a 1-yard gain when he tried to break free from the tackle.
In the process, Henderson fell backward and his head struck the turf with little protection. He initially tried to return to the huddle but quickly went to the ground, prompting New England’s medical staff to rush onto the field.

No immediate update on his status had been provided by the Patriots organization at the time of evaluation. This cautious approach follows NFL concussion protocols designed to protect player safety.

Impact on Patriot’s Offense if Henderson Out
Henderson entered this Week 16 matchup as a key contributor to New England’s ground attack. Prior to the injury, the rookie had recorded just two yards on four carries, but his presence in the Patriots backfield remains critical.
If Henderson cannot return, veteran running back Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to shoulder much of the rushing workload for the remainder of the game. This would mark a significant shift in the Patriots’ offensive scheme during the critical SNF contest against the Ravens.
“The rookie running back tried to pull away from the tackle but fell backward, slamming his head into the turf with little to break his fall.”
