TreVeyon Henderson shows promise in Patriots' backfield split
Summary

In Week 2 of the NFL season, TreVeyon Henderson returned from injury for the New England Patriots, contributing significantly with 16 touches for 76 total yards and a touchdown. His performance stands out in a backfield committee that also featured Rhamondre Stevenson, who managed only 7 touches for 46 yards. Meanwhile, off-key performances were also noted in the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers' running games, where Alvin Kamara struggled upon his return and Chuba Hubbard continued to impress with increased productivity. The Patriots' decision-making on running back roles could influence their future matchups as they navigate their backfield committee strategy into the season.
