COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Like the talented player he replaced in Antonio Gates, Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry wants to contribute each time he's on the field.
Since his return from a fractured knee three weeks ago, Henry's succeeded in that effort, totaling 18 receptions for 244 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
That's the type of production NFL observers expected from the Arkansas product before he suffered a tibia plateau fracture to his left knee during a season-opening win against Indianapolis Colts, which forced Henry to miss four games.
