New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (undisclosed) returned to training camp practice on Thursday, according to Mark Daniels of Mass Live. Henry missed some practice time earlier this week but is now back on the field. However, it doesn't mean that the 30-year-old veteran will suit up for the second presason tilt this Saturday against the Minnesota Vikings. He should be just fine for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September as the team's top pass-catching tight end. In his fourth year in New England in 2024, Henry had career-highs in catches (66), targets (97) and receiving yards (674) in 16 starts, but he found the end zone just two times. The addition of receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) will inevitably take targets away from Henry, but on the bright side, the TE did show good chemistry with quarterback Drake Maye. Henry is a low-end TE2 target with some upside.

The Houston Texans restructured tight end Dalton Schultz's $36 million contract for salary cap purposes on Tuesday, a league source told Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Schultz will make the same $11.508 million this year through a simple conversion of his $11 million base salary into a signing bonus that lowers his salary cap figure. He will be due $11 million in 2026 under the three-year extension he signed in 2024. The 29-year-old had 53 catches on 85 targets for 532 yards and only two touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (13 starts) in 2024 in his second year with the team. It was a disappointing showing for fantasy managers, especially when considering the injuries to Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell. His numbers last year were his fewest since his second year in the league in 2019 with Dallas. Schultz enters Week 1 against the Rams as a low-end TE2 in fantasy.
