As expected, tight end Hunter Henry has played a key role in the New England Patriots' offense in 2025.

Henry enters Week 11 with with the third-most receiving yards on the team with 377, although he has been quiet in two of the last three games, with a 51-yard showing sandwiched in between games with seven and nine yards.

Is Hunter Henry playing tonight?

UPDATE: Henry got going on the Pats' second drive with a pair of catches for 35 yards.
