The latest on Hunter Henry: Having signed tight end Hunter Henry as part of a larger free agent blitz in the offseason, the Patriots are hoping to hit the ground running in the 2021 season. But a recent update on Henry’s status might mean Patriots fans will have to wait a bit to see the 26-year-old back on the field.
According to a Tuesday morning report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Henry will miss “a couple of weeks” due to a shoulder injury.
Asked about Henry’s status later on Tuesday, Bill Belichick explained that the Patriots will be patient with him.
“He’s day-to-day. He’ll come back as he can come back,” Belichick told Boston.com’s Khari Thompson. “We have many other players in that same category.”
“Hunter’s a smart guy,” Belichick added. “He has a lot of experience. He’s been here and done everything we’ve done as a team. So when we get him back, we’ll get him back in the pace and schedule that fits his physical situation. But he’ll continue to make progress. There’s still a lot of things that he can do.”
