“Most importantly, I want to thank Jesus for giving me a peace that surpasses all understanding. Despite all of this, my heart rejoices in The Lord and my heart is at peace knowing that He is always faithful and His promise of Romans 8:28 always remain true. ‘And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.’ The purpose of trials in life is not to drive us away from God, but to only bring us closer. May God’s Will be done, not mine,” Henderson said.
The running back had been listed on the Patriots’ injury report with an illness, but the extent of the illness was not known until now.
