Played through torn labrum Henley told reporters Sunday that he will undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum that he played through during the regular season, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unclear when exactly Henley tore his labrum, as he never showed up on the Chargers' injury report for that specific issue. He was able to play in every single regular-season game, and he finished Saturday's 32-12 loss to the Texans with 10 total tackles, which tied with Alohi Gilman for most on the Chargers. Henley's timeline for a return to on-field action will be more clear once he undergoes surgery.

Practices in full Thursday Henley (illness) logged a full practice session Thursday.

Impact Henley was a limited participant Wednesday due to an illness, but he appears to have made a quick recovery given his upgrade to a full session Thursday. The second-year linebacker has emerged as a tackling machine -- and an intriguing IDP asset -- recently with three consecutive weeks of double-digit stops. Henley has tallied 40 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, during that span and could be in for another big game Sunday against a Bengals squad that has given up the 11th-most tackles to opposing linebackers this season.

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
