Tops 100 yards
Published: 2024-09-15
Henry recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 109 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks.
Henry was the clear favorite target for Jacoby Brissett, as no other player was targeted more than five times nor surpassed 12 yards. He worked primarily in the short areas of the field but did rack up yards after the catch to tally long gains of 35 and 17 yards. The Patriots have played conservatively on offense through two games, so it may be difficult for Henry to replicate this performance regularly.

Two catches in season-opening win
Published: 2024-09-08
Henry brought in two of three targets for 18 yards in the Patriots' 16-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Henry had a quiet afternoon but certainly wasn't alone among his pass-catching teammates, as the Patriots leveraged dominant performances by Rhamondre Stevenson and their defense for a season-opening upset victory. The veteran tight end should continue to enjoy a steady role throughout the season while working with either veteran Jacoby Brissett or rookie Drake Maye, as both should value his reliability when dropping back. However, how much passing volume there will be week to week remains an open question, so Henry's outlook isn't particularly bright heading into a Week 2 home battle against the Seahawks.
Logs full practice
Published: 2024-09-04
Henry (foot) practiced fully Wednesday.
Evidently it was a foot issue that slowed Henry during the preseason, but the tight end's full practice participation Wednesday sets the stage for him to be available for Sunday's season opener against the Bengals. While the Patriots seem likely to be a run-heavy team out of the gate, Henry could still end up seeing enough targets from starting QB Jacoby Brissett to merit fantasy lineup consideration. Henry logged six TDs in 14 regular-season games in 2023, and should once again serve as a useful option for the team in close.
Remains sidelined Sunday
Published: 2024-08-25
Henry (undisclosed) isn't in uniform for Sunday's preseason finale against the Commanders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Henry remains sidelined due to his undisclosed injury, while fellow injured tight end Austin Hooper (undisclosed) is dressed against Washington. Further updates on Henry's status will surface before the Patriots begin regular-season play Sept. 8 against the Bengals.
Shouldn't be out long
Published: 2024-08-19
Coach Jerod Mayo expects Henry (undisclosed) and the Patriots' other injured tight ends will be "ready to go relatively early in the season," Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Henry was held out of Thursday's preseason loss to the Eagles, while fellow tight ends Austin Hooper (undisclosed) and Mitchell Wilcox (calf) both played but now are dealing with injuries. Previous reports suggested Henry's issue isn't serious, but it isn't clear when he's expected to rejoin practice.
Not playing Thursday
Published: 2024-08-15
Henry (undisclosed) isn't uniform ahead of Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Henry has been dealing with an injury of late that isn't expected to sideline him for long, but the Patriots will play it safe with the tight end in their second exhibition tilt. In any case, as the regular season approaches, Henry's standing as the team's top option at his position remains secure.
Dealing with minor injury
Published: 2024-08-13
Henry will miss practice Tuesday with an unspecified injury that isn't expected to be serious, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
The issue reportedly came up in Sunday's practice, with Henry then sitting out Monday and now set to miss at least one more session. He was rested for the preseason opener and now seems unlikely to play in Thursday's exhibition against the Eagles, but it doesn't sound like the Patriots are too worried about the tight end's availability for Week 1.
Doesn't play Thursday
Published: 2024-08-09
Henry didn't play in Thursday's preseason opener versus the Panthers, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
Per Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Henry suited up Thursday, but did not play, so it's possible that the tight end could be managing a minor injury. In any case, while there's plenty of snaps up for grabs in the Patriots' crowded WR corps, Henry's standing as the team's top TE appears secure ahead of Week 1.
Re-signing for three more years
Published: 2024-03-08
Henry (knee) has agreed to a three-year deal to remain with the Patriots, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
Prior to missing the final three contests of the 2023 regular season due to a left knee injury, Henry caught 42 passes (on 61 targets) for 419 yards to go along with a team-high six TD receptions in 14 games. With the 2016 second-rounder set to stay put, the Patriots will enjoy valuable stability at the tight end position in the initial stage of Jerod Mayo's stint as New England's head coach. Regardless of who ends up as the starting QB for the team in 2024, Henry -- who will presumably be past his knee issue by the time on-field activities resume -- is set to reprise his key pass-catching role, a context that should result in the 29-year-old maintaining weekly fantasy utility this coming season.
