The Los Angeles Chargers are expected to have oft-injured tight end Hunter Henry back in the lineup for the first time since Week 1 when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Henry sustained a tibial plateau fracture in his left knee during Los Angeles' season opener and has been sidelined since.

The four-year pro was a limited participant in practice this week before getting in a full session Friday. He hadn't practiced the four weeks prior.

His presence should help a Chargers team that has lost three of its last four games.
