Patriots injury report: Henderson, Brown, Barmore sidelined ahead of Week 1 - New England Patriots

TreVeyon Henderson was among three Patriots who did not take part in Sunday’s practice, according to the first Patriots injury report ahead of the Wednesday, 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff at Lumen Field (source: Patspulpit). This quick update summarizes participation, immediate roster implications and what fans should monitor before kickoff.

Quick update — Patriots injury report snapshot

Sunday’s practice report left New England short in three key spots: running back, center and defensive tackle. Per the Patspulpit write-up, TreVeyon Henderson (ankle), Ben Brown (knee) and Christian Barmore (knee) did not participate. Patspulpit notes that each was designated as did not participate on Sunday’s practice log.

Who didn’t practice on Sunday

Patriots non‑participants (Sunday):

  • TreVeyon Henderson — ankle — Did Not Participate
  • Ben Brown — knee — Did Not Participate
  • Christian Barmore — knee — Did Not Participate

Participation table (quick reference)

Notes: Seattle positions and participation statuses are taken from the same Patspulpit report. The table is a snapshot of Sunday’s practice only and does not reflect gameday inactives or official injury listings closer to kickoff.

Immediate Patriots roster impact

Sunday’s non‑participation by TreVeyon Henderson clouds early Week 1 tailback availability; that designation puts Henderson’s availability in doubt (projection) rather than confirming he will be inactive on game day. The source notes that, with Henderson’s status uncertain, the Patriots could consider practice‑squad elevations as possibilities. Two names mentioned as potential candidates are Hassan Haskins and Lan Larison, but those remain speculative until the team announces any transaction.

Missing the starting center in practice can affect line continuity and early‑down packages. With Ben Brown absent on Sunday, the Patriots will monitor follow‑up reports for clarity on whether a backup will fill any game‑day role. On the defensive front, Christian Barmore’s non‑participation merits attention given his rotational interior role; coaches and medical staff will determine snap distribution and rotation as kickoff approaches.

All roster‑impact language here is intentionally cautious: practice designations do not equal final gameday decisions. Practice‑squad elevation rules allow clubs to sign players on short notice, but any such move should be treated as provisional until the Patriots confirm a transaction publicly.

Seahawks note and cross‑team context

Seattle’s report offers a mixed picture. The Patriots’ opponent listed Nick Emmanwori as limited with an ankle issue; Patspulpit notes he is working back from ankle surgery. Two Seahawks — Emanuel Wilson and A.J. Barner — were listed as full participants, as was Julian Neal. Meanwhile, safety Ty Okada did not practice on Sunday with a hamstring issue. Those designations shape how Seattle may deploy personnel at the line of scrimmage and in the secondary for the Week 1 matchup at Lumen Field.

What to watch before kickoff

  • Check the next official Patriots injury report, typically released after Tuesday practice, for updated participation tags.
  • Monitor Wednesday morning practice reports and the final gameday inactives list (usually announced about 90 minutes before kickoff) for confirmed absences.
  • Watch for any practice‑squad elevation announcements from the Patriots; reported candidates include Hassan Haskins and Lan Larison, but treat those as possibilities, not finalized moves.
  • Follow in‑game depth notes: if starters are inactive, early‑down snaps and special‑teams roles will indicate how the coaching staff adjusted the rotation.
