Patriots running back Henderson and Seahawks safety Okada miss season opener

The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks meet in the regular-season opener with key players unavailable. Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is ruled out for the contest. The Seahawks face roster challenges as well, potentially starting their Super Bowl title defense without two of their top three safeties, including Okada. Both teams enter the game dealing with personnel absences that could impact their rotations during the matchup. The game serves as a rematch following the previous Super Bowl meeting between the two franchises. Coaches will rely on depth to fill the vacant positions as the season kicks off.
