Patriots Backfield in Flux Ahead of Seahawks | New England Patriots News

Patriots’ season opener against the Seahawks hits a major hurdle: TreVeyon Henderson, their explosive rookie RB and OROY finalist, is out with an ankle injury. With him sidelined, Rhamondre Stevenson must carry more of the load, flanked by newcomer Corey Kiner and possibly a practice squad elevation. The offensive line holds steady, but backup center Ben Brown’s knee injury forces Greg Van Roten into a key role. On defense, Christian Barmore returns after load management. Meanwhile, the Seahawks face secondary woes with Ty Okada out and Nick Emmanwori questionable, plus a rookie RB and new OC in place. Expect a high-stakes battle where Patriots’ RB depth becomes a critical storyline. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
