Tight end Hunter Henry is officially active for Sunday’s Patriots-Packers showdown, a massive relief for quarterback Drake Maye after Henry was sidelined two days this week with a foot injury. This is huge, especially with so many other key guys already out.
Patriots Get a Key Target Back, But at What Cost?
Henry’s status was questionable all week, missing practice with that nagging foot issue, but he’s suiting up to be a target for Maye. This is a crucial boost for the Patriots’ offense, especially since they’ll be without both wide receivers A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, who are inactive for the game. Talk about stepping up when it counts! Other players who were questionable but are also active include safety Kevin Byard, cornerback Carlton Davis, right tackle Morgan Moses, special teamer Brenden Schooler, and guard Greg Van Roten. New England’s inactive list also features cornerback Charles Woods, running back TreVeyon Henderson, offensive tackle Dametrious Crownover, and quarterback Behren Morton.
Nixon Cleared for Packers’ Defense
Over on the Green Bay side, cornerback Keisean Nixon is good to go for the clash, despite dealing with a groin injury that had him questionable. That’s a bullet dodged for the Packers’ secondary. Green Bay’s inactive list for Sunday includes running back MarShawn Lloyd, linebacker Zaire Franklin, offensive lineman Donovan Jennings, center Sean Rhyan, offensive lineman Travis Glover, and tight end Josh Whyle.
This Patriots-Packers clash on Sunday got a little more interesting with key players pushing through injuries. Every snap matters right now.
