Patriots' Hunter Henry: Expected to play Sunday

Henry (ankle) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against Buffalo, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Henry missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before turning in a limited session Friday, and he is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game. After a hot start to the season, Henry has recorded just one catch for seven yards on five targets over the last two weeks. With wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) expected to be unavailable versus Buffalo, the Patriots could be forced to rely more upon Henry and fellow tight end Mike Gesicki in the passing game. The Patriots will officially reveal Henry's status when they release their inactive list 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
