Rookie QB Mac Jones ushers in new era for revamped Patriots

Bill Belichick spent a lot of money this offseason to help the Patriots put a 7-9 finish in 2020 behind them

Won't play Sunday Henry (shoulder) didn't suit up for Sunday's preseason finale versus the Giants, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Impact Henry has been managing a shoulder injury and has been limited in practice, so this comes as no surprise. The tight end will now shift his focus to readying for Week 1 action, when he'll look to combine with fellow free-agent acquisition Jonnu Smith to form a potent 1-2 punch at a position that wasn't very productive for the Patriots in 2020.

Does 7-on-7 work Henry (shoulder) participated in 7-on-7 drills during Wednesday's practice, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Impact While Henry didn't see any 11-on-11 work, his participation in some capacity Wednesday suggests that he's on track to be ready to go in advance of Week 1. The Patriots, however, could well elect to err on the side of caution with the tight end by holding him out of Sunday's preseason finale against the Giants. Henry and fellow newcomer Jonnu Smith are in line to work in tandem as a potent one-two punch in a New England attack that figures to roll out plenty of multi-tight end formations this coming season.

Not expected to play Thursday Henry (shoulder) isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles, Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald reports.

Impact The same applies to fellow TEs Jonnu Smith (ankle) and Matt LaCosse, which should result in Devin Asiasi being busy Thursday night. Henry has been making progress since suffering a shoulder injury earlier this month, but it's unclear if he'll make his game debut with the Patriots before Week 1 of the regular season.

Travels with team Henry made the trip to Philadelphia for joint practices with the Eagles this week, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact A report last Monday suggested Henry would miss multiple weeks, but he was spotted at Sunday's practice and apparently now has a chance to participate in joint sessions with the Eagles. Meanwhile, fellow Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith figures to miss at least a day or two after spraining his ankle Sunday.

Belichick: TE Hunter Henry day-to-day after recent injury

Patriots coach Bill Belichick says tight end Hunter Henry is day-to-day after leaving the Patriots' first practice of the week with a shoulder injury

AUGUST 10, 2021 • Associated Press

Could miss preseason The MRI that Henry underwent Monday on his shoulder revealed no serious injury, but the Patriots expect him to be sidelined for "a couple of weeks," Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact New England remains optimistic that Henry will gain full clearance in advance of its Week 1 matchup Sept. 12 versus the Dolphins, but the shoulder injury Hunter suffered Sunday looks like it will cost him some opportunities to build chemistry with quarterbacks Cam Newton and Mac Jones in practices and during the preseason. For what it's worth, head coach Bill Belichick labeled Henry as "day-to-day" when he met with the media Tuesday, but expect the Patriots to proceed cautiously nonetheless with the veteran tight end, who signed a three-year, $37.5 million deal with New England in March.

Scheduled for MRI Henry's shoulder injury is painful, but the Patriots are optimistic an MRI won't reveal anything serious, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The report adds that Henry could miss some time this preseason even if the MRI brings good news. He was removed from Sunday's practice with an apparent shoulder injury and now seems highly unlikely to suit up for Thursday's exhibition opener against Washington.

Getting shoulder checked out Henry appeared to tweak his shoulder during Sunday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Impact Cox notes that the tight end was checked out by head trainer Jim Whalen afterward. For now, consider Henry day-to-day in advance of Thursday's preseason opener against Washington. When healthy, Henry and Jonnu Smith are set to serve as a talented one-two punch in an offense that could use plenty of multi-TE formations this coming season.

JULY 28, 2021 • Associated Press

Solid effort at minicamp Henry turned in a good performance during the Patriots' three-day minicamp, which concluded Wednesday, Mike Dussault of the team's official site reports.

Impact Per the report, Henry, who joined the Patriots as a free agent in March, was "catching everything thrown his way" throughout the team's recent mandatory minicamp. Meanwhile, fellow newcomer Jonnu Smith appeared to tweak a hamstring and was "mostly a spectator," but both players should be available the next time the Patriots practice. By signing each of the duo to lucrative contracts, the team seems destined to employ plenty of multi-TE formations this coming season, a context that should allow both Henry and Smith to carve out fantasy value, though their target distribution figures to vary from week to week.

Impact Given that Henry didn't leave the field for testing, it seems likely the issue is relatively minor in nature. Barring word to the contrary, Henry's next opportunity to retake the field arrives Friday in the team's last OTA before the start of mandatory minicamp next week.
