The New England Patriots are looking healthier at tight end after coach Jerod Mayo's update on Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper returning to practice on Monday.
Mayo believes Henry, who has missed multiple training camp practices, will be ready to go by the Week 1 regular season opener. The veteran tight end has been battling an undisclosed injury over the last couple of weeks.
He was a bright spot for the struggling offense in 2023, recording 42 catches for 419 yards and six touchdowns. In three total seasons with the Patriots, he has recorded 133 catches for 1,531 yards and 17 touchdowns.
