Mike Vrabel Announces Double Blow for Patriots Before NFL Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New England Patriots walked into Monday’s practice with a shorter bench than they hoped.

According to Yates and his co-hosts Daniel Dopp and Mike Clay, Henderson is already shooting up draft boards, into the top 50 selections of ESPN fantasy drafts. Entering the year, his projected numbers sit at just over 220 carries, 992 rushing yards, and six rushing touchdowns.

Most of New England's regulars won't play Thursday night, but for many players the preseason finale against the Giants is the most important game of their career.

The New England Patriots put defensive tackle Isaiah Iton on injured reserve and added undrafted wide receiver Phil Lutz to the roster on Monday.
