Henry was waived by the Bengals on Tuesday. Henry appeared in both games for Cincinnati this season but only played 10 snaps on defense while seeing seven snaps on special teams. The second-year pro was selected in the fifth round by the Commanders in the 2023 NFL Draft but was unable to stick there as well. He'll now work to find another opportunity elsewhere.
