The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-eliot-wolf-cryptic-stance-mac-jones-qb" rel="noopener">Patriots’ uncertainty at quarterback</a> did not help matters, but Henry still managed to have a decent season.

It was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-new-england-out-rhamondre-stevenson-juju-smith-schuster-broncos">already announced</a> that Rhamondre Stevenson, Juju Smith-Schuster, and Jabrill Peppers will all miss New England’s week 16 game, and now starting tight end Hunter Henry and starting tackle Conor McDermott have <a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1738626210840588297" rel="noopener">been ruled out as well</a>, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.</p><p>In Rhamondre Stevenson, Juju Smith-Schuster, and Hunter Henry, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots are missing three of the biggest contributors to an offense that is already among the very worst in the NFL. The Patriots trio has combined for 11 of New England’s 21 offensive touchdowns this year. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-cole-strange-mad-cart-was-brought-out-after-brutal-injury-per-david-andrews">Across the offensive line,</a> the Patriots haven’t had much more luck on the injury front. Center David Andrews is the only Patriots lineman who has played at least 80 percent of New England’s offensive snaps. Things are getting so dire that New England head coach Bill Belichick may have to turn to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Patriot">Pat The Patriot</a> to take the field on Christmas Eve night.</p><p>What’s funny is, for the long-term good of the franchise, this may not be such a bad thing — and I’ll just go ahead and say it, Bill Belichick <i>probably </i>knows this, understands it, and is okay with it. The Patriots are still in the mix for the #1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and even if they don’t get the help they need from Carolina to move up to the #1 pick, New England controls their own destiny to hang on to the #2 pick. If New England lands somewhere in the top two, that should still theoretically allow them to select their quarterback of the future, because we know for sure that neither Mac Jones or Bailey Zappe is that guy.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Not what we wanted at all,” said Henry, per Mike Reiss of ESPN. “We have a resilient bunch. We’ll find out a lot about ourselves.”</p><p>The Patriots will indeed need to show some resiliency if they want to shake off Sunday’s lifeless display in Dallas. For what it’s worth, Hunter Henry did put together a solid showing for what was an otherwise abysmal New England offense, hauling in four receptions for 51 yards.</p><p>Still, in a season that has been defined by offensive struggles thus far, the loss to the Cowboys certainly took the cake. Quarterback Mac Jones struggled mightily against the Dallas defense, completing 12 of 21 passes for just 150 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions, one of which was returned to the end zone for a Cowboys touchdown.</p><p>Jones also had a fumble that was returned to the end zone as well.</p><p>The Patriots will be facing another tough defensive unit when they return to the gridiron in Week Five against the New Orleans Saints back in the friendly confines of Gillette Stadium. That game is slated to kick off at 1:00 PM ET.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Henry and Gesicki could do quite a bit of damage for the Pats this upcoming season, and their budding partnership will likely thrill Jones, who is looking to put together a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-mac-jones-spot-in-new-england-depth-chart-before-preseason" rel="noopener">bounce-back campaign</a> in 2023.</p><p>Both Henry (41 REC, 509 YDS, 2 TD) and Gesicki (32 REC, 362 YDS, 5 TD) are coming off down years by their standards, but the is hope that they can turn things around with New England in 2023.

Tight end Hunter <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-hunter-henry-suffers-knee-injury-during-beatdown-from-bengals" rel="noopener">Henry should be</a> one of the Patriots to benefit from O’Brien’s hiring.</p><p>The Patriots <a href="https://twitter.com/Schultz_Report/status/1632510340717072385" rel="noopener">aren’t expected</a> to release Henry, via theScore’s Jordan Schultz. New England values Henry as both a player and a leader in the locker room. O’Brien has plans to “maximize” Henry’s pass-catching ability.</p><p>If the Patriots were to release Henry, they would <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/hunter-henry-18983/#:~:text=Current%20Contract,average%20annual%20salary%20of%20%2412%2C500%2C000." rel="noopener">save over</a> $10 million against the cap. However, New England has decided to keep their tight end and will look for O’Brien to work his magic on Henry.</p><p>Hunter Henry joined the Patriots in 2021. This past season, he caught 41 passes for 509 yards and two touchdowns. Alongside recording the least amount of touchdowns in his career, Henry’s receptions and receiving yardage are his lowest since his rookie season.</p><p>While Henry struggled by his own standards, he was still one of the offensive leaders in New England.

The Patriots’ offensive struggled overall in 2022, ranking 26th in the NFL by averaging 314.6 yards per game.</p><p>Henry hasn’t been the dynamite tight end the Patriots thought they were signing.

With almost $37 million available in cap space – <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/" rel="noopener">fifth-most</a> in the league – the Patriots could certainly afford to keep Henry on their roster. But beyond the money, New England wants Henry to be a focal point of the offense.</p><p>Under O’Brien, Henry will have an opportunity to do just that.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Two of the Patriots’ key offensive players, Rhamondre Stevenson and Hunter Henry, <a href="https://twitter.com/DanGrazianoESPN/status/1609398749750493186" rel="noopener">are both expected to play</a> despite being questionable, per ESPN’s Dan Graziano.

But these injuries aren’t going to keep these Patriots out of this crucial affair. Mac Jones and company will need all hands on deck for this one, even with Teddy Bridgewater starting in place of the injured Tua Tagovailoa. New England will also have running back Damien Harris back in the lineup after missing over a month of action. Jack Jones, Marcus Jones, Jonnu Smith and DeVante Parker <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-patriots-gets-mixed-bag-injury-report-for-week-17-vs-dolphins" rel="noopener">were already ruled out</a> earlier in the week.</p><p>Stevenson will be trying to make up for his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-rhamondre-stevenson-fumble-bengals" rel="noopener">clutch fumble</a> in the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals that stymied the Patriots’ comeback attempt. The running back is having a terrific season overall, rushing for 944 yards and five scores. He also has 62 catches for 384 yards and a touchdown.</p><p>Henry has 30 catches for 415 yards and two touchdowns this season. The Patriots tight end got injured early against the Bengals and didn’t return.</p><p>New England is 7-8 on the season but is still in control of its own playoff destiny thanks to Miami’s recent slide. It should be an intense Week 17 game between these two playoff hopefuls.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The officials initially ruled the play as a reception and a touchdown, but after a several-minute-long review, Henry’s reception was taken away as it was ruled the ball hit the ground.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">This catch by Hunter Henry was called incomplete 🤔<a href="https://t.co/PqKqyStiph">pic.twitter.com/PqKqyStiph</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1595984288968835077?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 25, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Henry seemed to accept the result of the review when asked about the play following the game.

Henry shared what the officials told him as to why the play was overturned.</p><p>“They said it hit the ground,” Henry said. “But my hand – I believe my hand was under the ball. The hand was under the ball with hitting the ground, which is what caused it to jump up. I’ve just got to live with it. They made the call, so.”</p><p>Henry again stated his confidence that he had made catch when asked if he had full control of the ball in his hands.</p><p>“I did. My hand was under it,” Henry said. “Even when it hit the ground. But they made the call so, that’s it.”</p><p>The Patriots ended up kicking a field goal to go up 26-23 at the time. While they took the lead there, a touchdown could’ve changed the game. If the initial call on the field was upheld, the Patriots would’ve been trailing by three points instead of seven when they had the ball in Vikings territory in the final minutes.</p><p>Patriots quarterback Mac Jones didn’t want to blame the call as the reason for the Patriots’ loss. Instead, he pointed to the fact that the Patriots went 0-for-3 in the red zone, which gave them nine points in those situations as opposed to potentially 21 points.</p><p>“The refs have a job to do and they looked at the review and ruled it incomplete. So, we’ve got to move on from that play and play the rest of the game,” Jones said. “There was plenty of time left and there were other times we could’ve punched it in and it wouldn’t have been an issue. So, kind of the same issue there. We did some good things but obviously not enough in the long run.</p><p>“One call can’t determine the outcome. We’ve got to be able to do better, so it’s not even close.”</p><p>Patriots coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-bill-belichick-gives-adam-thielen-icy-cold-shoulder-after-vikings-loss" rel="noopener">Bill Belichick</a> didn’t want to share his thoughts on the play when asked about if after the game.</p><p>“Why don’t you guys go to them with your pool reporter and ask them about the play?” Belichick said. “Isn’t that what you do?”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Bill Belichick was not thrilled when asked about the Hunter Henry catch 😬 <a href="https://t.co/EYXxRduEPZ">pic.twitter.com/EYXxRduEPZ</a></p><p>— NBC Sports Boston's Patriots Coverage (@NBCSPatriots) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBCSPatriots/status/1596011292770246657?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 25, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Henry arguably had his best game of the season on Thursday, recording three receptions for 63 yards with a touchdown.

We didn’t play like we wanted to (Saturday) night. We honestly didn’t play well down the stretch, like we wanted to. But the biggest thing from this is how we grow, how we learn from this. Obviously, we got a lot better throughout the year, and I think I’m excited to grow with him this offseason — grow together in our relationship, grow together in our chemistry.”</blockquote><p>Nearly everything went wrong for the Patriots in their 47-17 loss, but Mac Jones was far from the biggest culprit. The rookie finished with 232 passing yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. The first pick was on an excellent play from Micah Hyde that was nearly a touchdown pass, the second was off a deflection that his receiver wasn’t able to corral cleanly.</p><blockquote>“I’m excited to have him as my quarterback, and (I was) just reaffirming to him that this is a big moment and something that we’re going to learn from and grow from and continue to get better,” the Patriots TE continued. “That’s the biggest thing: improvement. He’s got 18 games, (with) preseason, 20 games behind his belt now, and you can’t take that lightly, so that’s huge for him.”</blockquote><p>The New England Patriots have a lot of work to do in the offseason. The loss stings for now, but it ultimately could fuel Mac Jones even more as he tries to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-mac-jones-inspiring-message-after-rookie-season-comes-to-a-close/">establish himself as the franchise’s next great QB.</a></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
