The New England Patriots are preparing for a Wednesday night season opener against the Seattle Seahawks while managing an ankle injury to running back TreVeyon Henderson. Henderson has not practiced since August 24, leaving his availability for the game in doubt. Head coach Mike Vrabel is considering elevating veteran Hassan Haskins from the practice squad to provide depth at the position. Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to lead the team in snaps, but Haskins offers four years of NFL experience and special teams utility should the team require additional help in the backfield. The Patriots roster also includes Corey Kiner and practice squad member Lam Larrison as potential options. New England enters this matchup following an off-season of personnel adjustments under the direction of the new coaching staff.
