Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry is signing his franchise tag for the 2020 season on Monday, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Henry will reportedly earn roughly $10 million, Rapoport adds, as the tight end will get another year to build up his value. In 12 games last season, the 25-year-old made 55 receptions for 652 yards and five touchdowns.

The second-round pick from the 2016 NFL Draft has made 136 catches for 1,709 yards and 17 touchdowns in 41 games overall. Henry has dealt with injuries throughout his career, missing the 2018 season with a torn ACL and has yet to play a full season.
