The New England Patriots suffered a defeat against the Chicago Bears in their Week 7 matchup on Thursday. running back TreVeyon Henderson saw a notable reduction in playing time While there were few major changes to the team’s offensive approach.
Henderson went without a carry from midway through the first quarter until deep into the third. He finished the game with just three rushing attempts for nine yards, spending much of the night on the sidelines rather than contributing to the Patriots’ offense.
After the game, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel addressed Henderson’s limited role in Week 7, explaining that the team wanted to give Corey Kiner an opportunity to get some carries as well.
“We had some things for him, packages or personnel groupings,” Vrabel said. “TreVeyon will help us, but I wanted to see where we were with Corey getting a couple carries too. But TreVeyon will help us plenty here down the stretch and helped us a little bit tonight,” the Patriots coach explained. it is too soon to write him off Although Henderson’s situation looks challenging at the moment.
The Patriots selected him in the second round just last year, and despite his recent struggles, he has shown enough to suggest his NFL career still has room to grow.
