FOXBORO — There’s a chance that the Patriots’ offense won’t be at full strength Week 1 when they take on the Bengals.

Head coach Jerod Mayo was asked Monday on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” about the Patriots’ injury situation at tight end, which was down starter Hunter Henry, backup Austin Hooper and third-stringer Mitchell Wilcox in practice Sunday.

“I would say these aren’t extended recoveries for these guys,” Mayo said. “They’ll be ready to go relatively early in the season.”

Hooper already was back at practice on Monday. As for Henry, who hasn’t practiced since last week, Mayo was asked if there’s any doubt that he’ll play Week 1.

“I wouldn’t say it’s in doubt,” Mayo said. “I mean, right now, we got to see. We still have a lot of time. I think he’ll be there. But once again, when he’s ready to play, he’ll be out there.”

Henry figures to be a favorite target of whomever is starting at quarterback in Week 1 between Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye.
