False alarm: Patriots TE Hunter Henry escapes with just a ‘scare’ after appearing to suffer injury
Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has never played a full season in five years in the NFL. So when he looks to have even the slightest injury, it’s worth noting.
However, Henry has reportedly escaped the day without anything to sound the alarms. After appearing to suffer an injury in his lower leg area, Henry has had merely a “scare,” according to Just a scare for Hunter Henry. Nothing serious. https://t.co/OU4usKcaev
Henry appeared to injure himself during a 7-on-7 drill, then had his ankle taped and tested it out, according to multiple reports. He didn’t return to practice after that.
Fortunately, it sounds like just a minor tweak, at most. But it’s also a small indicator of the way the Patriots may have to be careful with Henry, who missed all of 2018 with a torn ACL and sat for six games between 2019 and 2020.
