At the end of every NFL season, teams across the league are banged up, and many big-name players are dealing with injuries heading into the playoffs or are done for the year. The Patriots were facing that reality last week against the Ravens, as several players left the game early due to various injuries.
That meant they could be down a long list of starters in their next matchup with the Jets this week, or even longer, especially since three players were in concussion protocol. One of them was running back TreVeyon Henderson, who has become an integral part of their offensive success over the past month, and was seen at practice in a red non-contact jersey.
