What happened: The running back is tracking toward his 2026 debut Sunday after an ankle injury kept him out of New England's opener. Mike Reiss reported the expected return for the Patriots' first home game against Pittsburgh.

Why it matters: His availability would return TreVeyon Henderson to New England's backfield one week after he was ruled out for the opener. Getting him back for Week 2 gives the offense another option as it opens at home.

By the numbers: Henderson has missed one game this season and is now lined up for a Week 2 debut.

What to watch: Watch New England's final injury report and Sunday inactive list for his formal game status. Henderson's usage will show how quickly the Patriots want to work him back in.
