Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry practice in a limited role on Wednesday, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic.
Henry suffered a tibia plateau fracture in his left knee in the Chargers' Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts and has been sidelined ever since.
This represents the second straight year that Henry has sustained a major knee injury, as he tore the ACL in his right knee in May 2018 and missed the entire 2018 campaign.
Henry, who played his collegiate football at the University of Arkansas, was originally selected by the Chargers in the second round (35th pick overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft.
He played in 15 games during his rookie year, catching 36 passes for 478 yards and eight touchdowns. Then, the following season, Henry appeared in 14 contests, hauling in 45 receptions for 579 yards and four scores.
The 24-year-old spent three seasons at Arkansas, with his best year coming during his junior campaign, when he snared 51 balls for 739 yards while reaching the end zone three times. Over the course of his tenure with the Razorbacks, Henry totaled 116 catches for 1,661 yards and nine touchdowns.
Henry was expected to be a big part of Los Angeles' offense this season, but, obviously, injuries have gotten in the way for the second consecutive year.
The Chargers have been one of the league's most disappointing teams over the first five weeks, as they have gone just 2-3 and are coming off of a home loss to the previously winless Denver Broncos.
Los Angeles will host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night.
