Report: Chargers won't activate Henry in time to play vs. Ravens

The Los Angeles Chargers won't receive any reinforcements for Sunday's wild-card game against the Baltimore Ravens, as the team won't activate tight end Hunter Henry from the physically unable to perform list in time to play, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Henry hasn't played this season after suffering a torn ACL during May's organized team activities. The Chargers recently expressed some optimism about his potential availability for the postseason.

He didn't suffer any setback in his recovery, Rapoport adds, and his status for a potential divisional-round game will be reassessed should L.A. win Sunday.

In Henry's absence, the Chargers have relied on the tight end combination of Antonio Gates and Virgil Green. The duo totaled 47 receptions for 543 yards and three touchdowns over the regular season.

Henry, the 35th overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, caught 45 of 62 targets for 579 yards and four touchdowns over 14 games last season.

The Ravens' defense ranks 22nd against opposing tight ends, according to Football Outsiders' DVOA, and allows 7.6 targets and 61.4 yards per game to the position.
