Hunter Henry Listed Questionable for Patriots’ Game Against Packers

Overview

• Henry is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s game after he left last week’s win over the Dolphins with a foot issue and returned to practice only once as a limited participant on Friday.
• NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport wrote that Henry “has a realistic chance to play,” and the Patriots did not elevate another tight end on Saturday, both moves that suggest he may try to play through the injury.
• If Henry is ruled out, rookie third-round pick Eli Raridon projects to become the primary tight end with Tanner Arkin and Cameron Latu as the next options on the depth chart.
• Fantasy analysts advise starting a different tight end where possible because Henry’s status is uncertain and the Packers surrender the third-fewest fantasy points to tight ends, which limits his upside even if active.
• With A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs sidelined, quarterback Drake Maye has relied on Henry as a safety valve and the Patriots’ game plan and target distribution would shift depending on whether Henry plays and how limited he is, with Mack Hollins’ return as a possible mitigating factor.
