Patriots' Henderson sidelined by 'unexplained neurological symptoms'

TreVeyon Henderson reveals on social media that he has spent several days in hospital; cause of symptoms still unknown but 24-year-old says results have been reassuring; Henderson missed the New England Patriots win over the Miami Dolphins last weekend

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson says a series of "unexplained neurological symptoms" are the reason for his recent absence.

Henderson has not practised since late October, when he was listed as having an illness, and missed Sunday's 24-19 victory over the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.

The player revealed in a social media post on Friday that he has spent a number of days in hospital after issues with his strength and coordination.

The cause of the problem remains "unknown and unexplainable", although Henderson says results have been "reassuring".

He wrote: "I will continue working closely with my specialists and physical therapists to focus on my recovery, as these symptoms have affected my strength, coordination and some of my physical functions.
