Henry is signing a two-year contract with the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. It's a match that's been rumored all offseason, after the Ravens infamously attempted just six RB carries in an AFC Championship Game loss to Kansas City. For Henry, it'll be the first change of scenery in his pro career, following an eight-year stint with the Titans that featured five 1,000-yard rushing seasons, including three over 1,500 and one over 2,000. He led the league with 280 carries in 2023 and hit pay dirt 12 times, though he averaged a career-low 4.17 yards per attempt while ceding nearly half of Tennessee's backfield snaps to rookie Tyjae Spears. There's reason to believe the 30-year-old's YPC mark will rebound with the move to Baltimore, where he'll have superior QB play and likely a better offensive line. Henry's contract reportedly has a base value of $16 million over two years, with $9 million guaranteed and then another $4 million available via incentives.

Henry is signing a two-year contract with the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. It's a match that's been rumored all offseason, after the Ravens infamously attempted just six RB carries in an AFC Championship Game loss to Kansas City. For Henry, it'll be the first change of scenery in his pro career, following an eight-year stint with the Titans that featured five 1,000-yard rushing seasons, including three over 1,500 and one over 2,000. He led the league with 280 carries in 2023 and hit pay dirt 12 times, though he averaged a career-low 4.17 yards per attempt while ceding nearly half of Tennessee's backfield snaps to rookie Tyjae Spears. There's reason to believe the 30-year-old's YPC mark will rebound with the move to Baltimore, where he'll have superior QB play and likely a better offensive line. Henry's contract reportedly has a base value of $16 million over two years, with $9 million guaranteed and then another $4 million available via incentives.
Henry doesn't seem likely to stay with the Titans, though GM Ran Carthon suggested Tuesday that the team will at least have conversations about re-signing the running back, ESPN's Turron Davenport reports. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday that none of the big-name RBs eligible for free agency in March are expected to receive franchise tags, including Henry. New Titans coach Brian Callahan has expressed interest in re-signing the back, but Henry's stated emphasis on winning a Super Bowl could cause him to look elsewhere than Tennessee.
Henry was deemed limited in Wednesday's session, but his full listing a day later indicates that the running back's initial listing was indicative of load management rather than an injury that could impact his Week 12 availability. He thus is slated to continue to lead the Titans backfield Sunday against the Panthers, a role that has led to him logging double-digit carries in all 10 games that he's played in, though he's been held to 62 yards on 21 carries over his last two outings.
Henry's final numbers essentially spell out how frustrating an afternoon it was for the star running back. His rush attempts tied a season low, while his yardage tally was only higher than his 20-yard effort versus the Browns in Week 3. Game script increasingly put a crimp on Henry's opportunities Sunday, and he'll have another tough matchup on the ground versus the Jaguars in a Week 11 divisional road clash.
Previously, Henry had some practice limitations Week 3 due to a combination of a toe issue and rest, but he was able to put it behind him and play. With three days to prepare for Thursday's game at Pittsburgh, the Titans may be scaling back his reps to keep him as fresh as possible for Week 9 action. Still, Henry's status will need to be monitored to ensure he isn't in danger of sitting out this week.
The Titans built a two-score lead before halftime with a surprisingly efficient passing attack, leaving Henry with only 39 yards on the ground. As the team tried to control time of possession in the second half, his volume increased, which allowed him to top 100 yards on the ground for the second time this season despite his longest gain going for only 14 yards. Henry's production on the ground has taken a significant downturn through seven games, though he's still averaging over four yards per carry and has added 15 receptions to supplement his fantasy value.
The Titans have reportedly received calls from teams around the league inquiring about Henry's availability. It could make sense for Tennessee to deal him considering its 2-4 record and the fact that Henry is in the final year of his contract. For now, however, it appears he won't be on the move, though nothing will be official until the trade deadline has passed on Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET.
