Patriots Receive Good News About Pair of Injured Starters

The New England Patriots offense has been starting to hit its stride, and it seems that is likely to continue in Week 6 with a pair of injured starters set to make their return to the field.

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, running back TreVeyon Henderson and left tackle Will Campbell are both officially active for the Patriots matchup against the New York Jets after entering the weekend with questionable statuses.

It's certainly great news, given the amount of key players who have been sidelined for the Patriots as of late. Henderson and Campbell are also being joined by star wide receiver A.J. Brown, who is set to make his return after spending the past four weeks on injured reserve.

Henderson suffered a high-ankle sprain during the second quarter of the team's Week 5 win against the Las Vegas Raiders, which makes his active status not only surprising but very impressive.

Meanwhile, Campbell suffered a right knee MCL sprain last week. He was expected to miss some time as well, but both now look poised to bounce back from their injuries quite fast.

Henderson, a second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has displayed his big-play ability several times through his first 21 NFL games, rushing for 1,074 yards and 10 touchdowns while also reeling in 37 catches for 243 yards and another score.

Campbell was the No. 4 overall selection in last year's draft and has allowed 11 total pressures in pass protection, including one sack and two hits allowed to opposing pass rushers, per Pro Football Focus.

Both players should provide a nice boost to a Patriots team that currently sits in second place in the AFC East with a 3-2 record.
