Hunter Henry Misses Wednesday's Practice

Hunter Henry Misses Wednesday's Practice

11 months ago

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (knee) was unable to practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Henry had a good game in the Week 15 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with 66 receiving yards and his third touchdown in the last two games on seven receptions (nine targets), but he also picked up a knee injury in Sunday's game that could put his status in question for the Christmas Eve game this Sunday evening against the Broncos in Denver. The 29-year-old will need to practice by Friday in order to have a shot at playing this weekend. It's hard to trust any pass-catcher in New England's offense in 2023, but Henry has been a go-to option for quarterback Bailey Zappe the past two weeks. If he's unable to play, Mike Gesicki would be in line for more targets, although he wouldn't be recommended for starting fantasy lineups.
