Henry might very well be the most complete and dynamic tight end available through both free agency and the draft. But he does not come without risk. His second season in the NFL ended early, with a knee injury and a lacerated kidney. He came back for OTAs the next year, but tore his ACL and missed the entire regular season, returning for the Chargers’ Divisional Round meeting with the Patriots. Then last year, Henry suffered a tibia plateau fracture to his left knee and missed the first five games of the season.The team that signs him would be wise not to place all of their eggs in the Henry basket, and sign or draft another tight end as a viable Plan B should Henry miss time in the year ahead.
