New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry and offensive lineman Conor McDermott have been downgraded to out for Sunday’s game against the host Denver Broncos.
Henry (knee) and McDermott (concussion) were listed as questionable by the Patriots on Friday. Henry turned in a limited practice on Friday after failing to participate in the sessions earlier in the week, while McDermott did not practice at all.
Henry, 29, recorded season-high totals in catches (seven) and receiving yards (66) in New England’s 27-17 setback to the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday. He also had a touchdown catch versus the Chiefs after finding the end zone on two occasions in the Patriots’ 21-18 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Dec. 7.
Henry has team-leading totals in catches (42) and touchdown receptions (six) to go along with 419 receiving yards in 14 games this season.
McDermott, 31, has played in six games (five starts) this season.
