Hunter Henry OTA Knee Injury Reportedly Diagnosed as Season-Ending Torn ACL

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry reportedly suffered a torn ACL in practice Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The Chargers will seek a second opinion Wednesday, but the non-contact injury could be season-ending.

Henry set career-highs with 45 catches for 579 yards in 2017, although his touchdown total decreased from eight during his rookie season to four this past year. His season ended after 14 games when the Chargers placed him on injured reserve with a kidney laceration in mid-December.

The Arkansas product wasted little time surpassing future Hall of Famer Antonio Gates on the Chargers' depth chart, establishing himself as one of Philip Rivers' go-to options.
