Hunter Henry could miss late December game for Patriots to experience birth of his first child

The New England Patriots could be without one of their most productive pass catchers as they fight to keep hold of the AFC East down the stretch. Tight end Hunter Henry said he will miss a game if it interferes with the birth of his child, according to NESN.

Henry's wife, Parker, is due in late December with the couple's first child. Henry said he intends to be there when the child is born, even if that means missing a game.

“That’s a tough conversation, but this is my first, man,” Henry said.
