The banged-up New England Patriots offense have taken another hit in Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals with tight end Hunter Henry heading off to the locker room with a knee injury.
Per the team, his return to the game is questionable.
The injury seemingly occurred in the opening drive when Henry collided with teammate Jonnu Smith on a passing route. New England has struggled with offensive spacing on routes throughout the season, and that once again appeared to be an issue on this particular play as well.
Keep in mind, the Patriots are also missing receiver DeVante Parker and running back Damien Harris on offense.
Patriots injury update: TE Hunter Henry is questionable to return (knee).

It has been all Cincinnati in the early part of the Christmas Eve matchup.
As usual, the Patriots will have to depend on others to step up as they try to erase an early deficit at home.
