Surprise practice participant Wednesday
The Patriots listed Henderson (ankle) as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
After Henderson was diagnosed with a right high-ankle sprain coming out of Sunday's win over the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Tuesday that the second-year running back would avoid surgery but was expected to miss multiple weeks. While that could still be the case, Henderson's involvement in practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- suggests that the Patriots haven't yet ruled him out from playing Week 6 against the Jets. However, in the more likely event that Henderson ends up sitting out this Sunday, Rhamondre Stevenson would be in store for a larger share of the touches out of the backfield, while Corey Kiner would serve as the top complement to Stevenson.
