'Unexplained neurological symptoms' behind Henderson absence

TreVeyon Henderson says "a series of unexplained neurological symptoms", which resulted in him being admitted to hospital, are the reason for his absence for the New England Patriots.

The 24-year-old running back was listed on his side's injury report on 29 October with an illness and missed the win against the Miami Dolphins last weekend.

The Patriots have listed Henderson as not having taken part in practice prior to Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, a game he is expected to miss.

"Recently, I experienced an unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms that required hospitalisation for several days," said Henderson in a statement on social media., external
