FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry injured his shoulder in Sunday's practice and is having an MRI, according to a source.
While initial indications are that the injury doesn't appear serious, the injury is painful and Henry could miss time in the preseason, sources say.
The Patriots host the Washington Football Team in both teams' preseason opener on Thursday.
Henry, 26, was a key piece in the Patriots' aggressive offseason overhaul, signing a three-year, $37.5 million contract with the team after five years with the Los Angeles Chargers.
