Devin Asiasi the lone option as Patriots’ injured tight ends improve but don’t play

PHILADELPHIA — The Patriots had just one tight end available Thursday night in their second exhibition game. Devin Asiasi was the team’s lone option against the Eagles, as fellow tight ends Jonnu Smith, Hunter Henry, and Matt LaCosse remained sidelined.

Smith and Henry were on the field, not in uniform, well before kickoff for a workout with strength and conditioning assistant Deron Mayo. The pair sprinted sideline to sideline across the field, while Mayo kept tabs with a stopwatch.

The workout was a positive sign for both players, as they work their way back from injuries.
