Sources: The Patriots are trading TE Jonnu Smith to the Falcons, as a former big-ticket free agent heads elsewhere and creates space for New England.

Smith is reunited with his former coach, Arthur Smith. In his last season in Tennessee, Smith posted 41-448-8 on 65 targets and was the fantasy TE11. Don't expect those numbers with Kyle Pitts soaking up most of the tight end targets.

Patriots TE Hunter Henry, who was dealing with a knee injury this weekend, is considered day-to-day. He's sore. But has a chance to play.

Former UDFA Scotty Washington saw his first snaps of the year, but Jonnu Smith would be the true beneficiary if Henry were to miss any time. Smith shifted away from his run-blocking duties for the most part in Week 15, but it still only resulted in four targets and 21 yards. Jonnu's time in New England has not been fortuitous for fantasy, and it isn't like to change regardless of Hunter's status.

Patriots TE Jonnu Smith, who has had tests done on his injured ankle over the last few days, was diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain, source said.

The tweet went on to say he's week-to-week. That likely means he could miss Week 5 and possibly beyond. Smith has just a 5-58-0 line for the season. While Henry could see a bump in production, his line for the season is 5-41-0.

Patriots RBs Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) and Damien Harris (neck), and TEs Jonnu Smith (shoulder) and Hunter Henry (neck) are questionable for Week 12's game against the Tennessee Titans.

It is expected that all four players suit up, but with the Titans severely undermanned, one or two could be surprise inactives.

Patriots RB Damien Harris has cleared concussion protocol and will play Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons. RB Brandon Bolden (hip), WR N'Keal Harry (knee), and TE Jonnu Smith (shoulder) are questionable.

Stevenson will revert back to his back-up role, but if Bolden were to miss TNF, he would gain more work in the passing attack.

Patriots WR N'Keal Harry (knee) and TE Jonnu Smith (shoulder) are questionable for Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers.

Harry was a new addition and is very much a concern heading into Sunday. Both are names to watch when inactives are announced.

Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne (shoulder) and TE Jonnu Smith (shoulder) are questionable for Week 8's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Related Players: N'Keal Harry, Hunter Henry, Nelson Agholor

Bourne has been New England's WR2 this season and Smith has only seen smatterings of production behind Henry. Henry is headed back to where he played his entire career and should be one of Mac Jones's favorite targets.

Don't look now, but Hunter Henry is starting to heat up a bit. Over the last two weeks, Henry has been able to find his way into the end zone and Sunday's win proved to be the best statistical outing of his Patriots career.

Numbers-wise, Henry was targeted by Mac Jones a team-high eight times and hauled in six receptions for 75 yards, which included a 13-yard touchdown that evened the score up at 22. While it has taken Henry some time to truly be an impactful piece in this New England offense, he has been a reliable outlet for Jones from the jump, catching 20 of his 26 targets on the year. This combination should only get stronger as the season goes along and both players get more comfortable within the offense, the story went on to say.

Patriots TE Jonnu Smith is questionable for Week 2 because of a hip injury according to the team's official injury report.

Smith has had nagging injuries over the past few seasons and a limited practice Friday forced a questionable tag. If Smith sits, Hunter Henry would jump into top 10 tight end territory for Week 2.
