FOXBORO — Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson missed his second straight practice Thursday with an ankle injury. Henderson hurt the ankle on Aug. 25 during the Patriots’ last padded practice before their preseason finale at Cleveland. That day, Henderson walked off the field under his own power, but hasn’t been seen on the field since. The Patriots are less than a week away from their season opener at Seattle on Sept. 9, and will hold three more practices starting Saturday before they fly to the West Coast. New tight end Cameron Latu and backup offensive lineman Ben Brown were also absent Thursday. Brown recently re-signed to the active roster after being cut earlier this week. He is dealing with a severe knee sprain, according to a source. The team is expected to release its first injury report of the week Saturday.
