Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson has been located.

A report circulated Monday indicating Henderson's coaches and teammates hadn't heard from him and no one knew where he was, with one player saying he was unsure if Henderson remained a part of the team. The offensive tackle has skipped the Bills' offseason program and hasn't spoken to head coach Rex Ryan since the 2015 season ended.

However, Henderson's agent told Tyler Dunne of The Buffalo News later Monday that his client plans to report to the team this week and play in 2016.

Henderson started all 16 games as a rookie in 2014 and 10 games last season before Crohn's disease forced him to the sideline.

The Bills' medical staff is reportedly aware of Henderson's current health issues as he continues to battle the inflammatory bowel disease, which is typically accompanied by intense abdominal pain and weight loss.

It's possible the Bills will stick with their rumored plan to use Jordan Mills as their starting right tackle, but a strong training camp from Henderson could put him back in the mix to start opposite Cordy Glenn.
