Chargers tight end Hunter Henry hasn’t played since Week 1 of the regular season after suffering a left knee fracture. But it appears the 24-year old tight end is making progress.
Henry was out on the field today during the open portion of practice with no knee brace. When he went on to do sideline drills, Henry then proceeded to put on the brace.
This marked the first time that media has seen him since after the season opener when he sustained the injury.
Coach Anthony Lynn said that Henry’s knee is feeling better and the team will monitor how he’s doing the rest of the week.
It shouldn’t be expected that Henry will play this weekend against the Broncos. At the very earliest, the former Arkansas product could play in a limited capacity next weekend against the Steelers.
In the meantime, Lance Kendricks and Stephen Anderson will serve as the tight ends this weekend, and possibly Virgil Green if he’s healthy.
