Parcells not happy with Henson's NFLE performance

Henson Finally Home

Drew Henson practiced Friday after returning from NFL Europe two weeks ago, and while his European stint was more than a vacation, Parcells said the third-year quarterback didn't make the progress he was expecting.

"I can't say he made a lot," Parcells said. "I think the experience was good for him and playing in the games was good for him but I was hoping for just a little bit more."

Henson worked with the third-team offense throughout practice.

"I got to play games week after week which is what I think I needed most," Henson said. "It feels like I was gone for a long time ,so it feels good to be back in the States and be working with my team."

Henson injured his knee late in the NFL Europe season but was cleared by doctors to play the final game, and said Friday that the sprained MCL no longer bothers him.
