Chris Canty Says Ravens Can't Trust Derrick Henry as Stephen A. Smith Defends Star Back

Costly giveaways across three weeks have intensified scrutiny of Baltimore's run game.

Overview

  • Derrick Henry has fumbled once in each of the first three games, leading NFL running backs in fumbles through Week 3.
  • In a 38-30 loss to the Lions, he had 12 carries for 50 yards, and a fourth-quarter fumble preceded a Detroit field goal.
  • On ESPN's First Take, ex-Raven Chris Canty argued Baltimore "can't give him the ball" and "can't trust him with the ball."
  • Stephen A. Smith countered that Henry will fix the issue, while John Harbaugh said "We’ve got to get it fixed" and Henry apologized to fans.
  • The exchange spotlighted Baltimore’s consecutive sub-100-yard rushing outputs for the first time in the Lamar Jackson era, with the show rotating guest hosts following Molly Qerim’s resignation.
