The New England Patriots can't afford more injuries on the offensive side of the ball, but it's a reality they are currently facing with Hunter Henry popping up on Thursday's injury report.
After a standout performance in the team's Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, the veteran tight end popped up as a limited participant at practice with a toe injury. It will be something to monitor in the coming days as the team gets set for a primetime Monday Night Football showdown against the New York Giants.

With the game being on Monday night, the team will get an extra day to prepare to play.
So there's hope they can get some of those players back on the field for game day. It's worth noting that Giants rookie quarterback Jaxon Dart was a full participant after being in concussion protocol, which means he'll likely be ready to return against the Patriots.
Here is the injury report for both teams on Thursday:
