Chargers TE Hunter Henry Suffers Knee Fracture, No Timetable for Return

Henry missed the entire 2018 season after tearing his ACL during offseason workouts.

Chargers tight end Hunter Henry suffered a "tibia plateau fracture to his left knee," the team announced on Wednesday. 

Los Angeles did not set a timetable for Henry's return to the field, but the organization believes the injury should keep him on the sidelines for 4-6 weeks, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
