History

Historical Context

When Tom Brady tore his ACL in the Patriots’ 2008 opener, undrafted Matt Cassel stepped in and threw a 13-of-18, 152-yard pass for a 17-10 win, helping New England finish 11-5 despite missing the playoffs. The 2024 ankle sprain to rookie TreVeyon Henderson on August 24 forces the same team to again lean on depth, turning to veteran Rhamondre Stevenson and practice-squad players.
