Patriots star TreVeyon Henderson ‘ready to go’ after missing Week 1

New England Patriots starting running back TreVeyon Henderson announced before Thursday's workout that he is set to play in this weekend's clash against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Henderson had been sidelined with an ankle issue and was absent from team drills since August 24, ultimately forcing him to sit out the squad's opening-week defeat against the Seattle Seahawks.

The rookie rusher rejoined his teammates on the practice field on Monday, participated in sessions through Wednesday, and completed full work later in the week. His anticipated presence gives New England a significant offensive reinforcement for Sunday's home showdown in Foxborough.
