The Facts: Henry got a small taste of what he’d been missing as he appeared in 14 snaps Sunday against the Patriots. It left him hungry for more. In fact, it has him already salivating about the 2019 season. “It was definitely just good to be able to get back out there,” he said. “I think that’s huge for going into next year. It’s huge. Like I said, it’s huge going into next year. I worked hard to get back to that moment and so, I’m ready to work extra hard this offseason to get ready to go for next year.”
Diehards Line:If that wasn’t enough, managing to make it back onto the field after such a grueling rehab process only to see the team’s season come to an abrupt end motivates him that much more. “You work so hard to get to that (point and return) thinking we have three more games to go, and then to have it all fall apart like that, it definitely is going to drive me,” he said. ... Henry missed the entire regular season and Wild Card win over the Ravens after tearing his ACL on the first day of OTAs in May. In addition, the top-notch tight end sat out the final two games of the 2017 campaign after suffering a lacerated kidney in Week 15 that year. Basically, Sunday’s 14 snaps marked his first action in 57 weeks and three days, so it’s no wonder why he’s already eager for next season. What’s even more encouraging is how his knee felt physically after the game. “I felt good,” he said. “I mean, I wasn’t my full self probably, to where I would like to be, but I still felt good enough and felt real good out there. It was good to be back out there rolling.”
