New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson told fans Friday that an unexplained medical emergency required hospitalization.
Henderson described the event as unexpected and unusual, noting that a series of neurological symptoms triggered extensive testing. He said the results were reassuring, yet doctors have not identified a cause.
The 22-year-old explained that the symptoms affected his strength, coordination, and physical functions. He is now working with specialists and physical therapists to restore his ability to play.
"My health and long-term well-being remain my foremost priorities," Henderson wrote in the statement.
Henderson first appeared on the injury report in Week 8 due to an illness. This week, the Patriots listed him as a non-participant for Sunday's game against the Packers for the same reason. Earlier in the season, he dealt with a high-ankle sprain sustained against the Raiders on October 11 and a separate ankle injury during preseason practice on August 24.
Head coach Mike Vrabel will speak at a press conference at 1:10 p.m. today. Kickoff for the Week 9 matchup at Gillette Stadium is set for 4:25 p.m. Sunday.
