Henderson says that his marijuana use is for medicinal purposes and treating Crohn's disease, which he was diagnosed with at the end of last season and caused him to the last five games of the season.

Jordan Mills has started 11 games for the Bills at right tackle. Henderson has played in a reserve role.
