TreVeyon Henderson's Week 1 status is suddenly looking VERY questionable. And that could force the New England Patriots to change their entire offensive approach against Seattle. Adam Schefter said earlier this week that it's “hard to imagine” Henderson playing in the season opener because of his ankle injury. That's significant. Henderson hasn't practiced in quite some time, and what initially appeared to be a relatively minor injury is starting to look like something more substantial. So what does New England do? Rhamondre Stevenson can handle a significant workload. But the Patriots also just traded for Corey Kiner to be their RB3, and he could suddenly find himself operating as RB2 out of necessity. Mike Vrabel has consistently identified the running game as one of his concerns with this offense. Now he might enter Week 1 without one-half of the Stevenson-Henderson combination New England planned to use. Could that force the Patriots to lean even MORE heavily on Drake Maye and the passing game? A.J. Brown. Romeo Doubs. Kyle Williams. Maybe New England decides its best option is putting the football in Maye's hands and attacking Seattle through the air. Then there's the other matchup I cannot wait to watch. Christian Gonzalez vs. Jaxon Smith-Njigba. New England held JSN to just four catches for 27 yards on 10 targets in the Super Bowl. Now Gonzalez enters the rematch as the highest-paid cornerback in football and the highest-paid player in Patriots history. You got your contract. The Patriots made their investment. Now? Let's see what you've got against one of the NFL's best receivers.
