Eli Raridon is next on the Patriots depth chart at tight end. Tight end targets would mostly move to the receivers, so he's a streaming option at best if Henry misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Drake Maye would lose one of his main options.
