Hennessy (knee) was an active participant at the Eagles' OTAs this past week, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hennessy was unavailable for the entirety of the 2023 campaign with a knee injury, but he looks to be a full go ahead of 2024. The 26-year-old will likely operate as a depth option behind Landon Dickerson and Tyler Steen at offensive guard this season.

Hennessy (knee) is slated to sign a one-year contract with the Eagles, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hennessy missed all of the 2023 campaign due to a knee injury, but he has starting experience with the Falcons at both guard and center. He should bolster the depth of Philadelphia's offensive line next season.

Atlanta placed Hennessy (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hennessy suffered a knee injury in late July and was sidelined for two weeks, despite optimism that the issue was minor. However, the 2020 third-round pick, who's dealt with lingering knee issues for two years, will now be forced to miss the entire 2023 campaign, barring an injury settlement. In his absence, rookie second-round pick Matthew Bergeron is slated to start at right guard to open the regular season.

Head coach Arthur Smith told reporters Saturday that Hennessy (knee), who left practice Friday, is expected to return next week and will be back "sooner than later," Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hennessy went down during 11-on-11 drills Friday and got an MRI done on his knee. It seems like he has avoided serious injury, with Smith adding that the results were "good news." Hennessy was practicing with the first-team offense at left guard to start training camp and will look to resume that role once healthy.

Hennessy (knee) handled first-team left guard reps in 11-on-11 drills during last week's OTAs, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After exiting the Falcons' 2022 season finale with a knee injury, Hennessy is healthy and playing once again. Last season, the young offensive linemen started three of the 11 games he appeared in for Atlanta, and is now expected to compete for the starting role at a seemingly open left guard position with Kyle Hinton and Matthew Bergeron.

Hennessy (knee) will not return Sunday against the Buccaneers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis

Hennessy (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Hennessy has officially returned to the 53-man roster after he was placed on IR on Nov. 8 and then designated to return Dec. 12. He should suit up Sunday against the Cardinals, and he'll likely provide depth on the offensive line. Although, if Elijah Wilkinson (calf) is unable to play, Hennessy could draw the start at left guard.
