During Baltimore Ravens’ first week of organized team activities, running back Derrick Henry stumbled after a fake handoff, colliding with a defender and falling hard. The field fell silent as Henry lay on his back, sparking concern. He later laughed, saying he probably stayed down too long but was fine. Within minutes, he was back in drills. A check confirmed no serious injury.

Henry’s brief scare underscores a durability record that has steadied the Ravens’ backfield, a position that has lacked continuity for a decade. Since 2024, Henry has carried the ball 325 times, second only in franchise history, and missed only one game in four seasons. His consistency gives Baltimore a reliable rushing attack as they rebuild under new coaching. This stability boosts playoff hopes.

With a reworked offensive line—only returning starters Ronnie Stanley and Roger Rosengarten—and fresh talent like guard Olaivavega Ioane and center John Simpson, Henry is poised to chase a 1,500‑yard season. Minter praised his work ethic, noting how Henry’s approach sets a tone across the roster. The Ravens now have a clear path to a solid rushing core for the upcoming season in.
