Hunter Henry leaves with knee injury after running into Jonnu Smith

FOXBORO -- Anything that could go wrong has gone wrong for the New England Patriots in their Christmas Eve matchup with the Bengals. That includes Hunter Henry getting injured after running into his own teammate.

The tight end has been ruled out for the rest of the game after he suffered a right knee injury on New England's third offensive play of the game. With the Patriots facing a third-and-4, Henry and fellow tight end Jonnu Smith both ran crossing routes, and it did not end well for New England or Henry.

Those routes had Henry and Smith run into each other, and now Henry is hurt. The Patriots went three-and-out on their first possession, and followed it up with another three-and-out on their second possession.

Henry was considered questionable to return throughout the first half, but was ruled out at the start of the third quarter. 

The Patriots offense hasn't been able to muster much of anything against Cincinnati, with New England trailing 22-0.
