Patriots’ TreVeyon Henderson Injury Puts Corey Kiner in Spotlight

Corey Kiner has taken the long route to an NFL opportunity. Now, an injury in the New England Patriots backfield has given fans a reason to learn more about the second-year running back. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Tuesday, October 13, that TreVeyon Henderson is expected to miss multiple weeks with a high ankle sprain suffered in Sunday’s win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Henderson won’t need surgery. That leaves Rhamondre Stevenson positioned to handle the lead role, with Kiner a candidate for more work behind him. The 24-year-old wears No. 9 and is listed at 5-foot-9, 209 pounds.
