New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry was absent from practice again on Thursday, according to a report by Tim Piotrowski of USA TODAY Sports. The veteran pass-catcher has now missed multiple sessions, though the team has not disclosed the specific reason for his absence.
Henry, who has been a key target in the Patriots' offense, did not participate in the portion of practice open to media. His status for the upcoming game remains uncertain as the coaching staff evaluates his availability day by day.
The 29-year-old tight end has recorded 32 receptions for 341 yards and two touchdowns through the first nine weeks of the 2026 season. His potential absence would leave a significant gap in New England's passing attack, particularly in red-zone situations where Henry has excelled throughout his career.
