Bennett Has Played Through Ankle Injury

New England's No. 2 tight end has been nursing the ankle injury for a few weeks now, but he hasn't let it prevent him from suiting up in all eight of the team's games.

Halfway through his first season in New England, Bennett has caught 31 passes for 402 yards and four touchdowns. However, he hasn't topped 50 yards receiving or found the end zone over the last three games with Rob Gronkowski back. 

But even if he's not being deployed as a primary target, Bennett can do damage as a supplementary pass-catcher—particularly in the red zone—so long as Tom Brady is under center.
