Henderson remains Patriots backup; no emergence in passing game or role.

Henderson has not emerged as a go-to weapon for the Patriots in the passing game as a receiver or pass blocker; the backfield remains unchanged from the end of 2025 with Rhamondre Stevenson leading the way and Henderson still relegated to the backup role. There is a distinct lack of buzz surrounding Henderson compared to positive momentum for other second-year backs like Bhayshul Tuten and Quinshon Judkins.
