Delpit Says Derrick Henry Is 'Not Hard' to Bring Down Ahead of Ravens–Browns

Henry enters the matchup off a 169-yard opener, with sportsbooks listing Baltimore as a double-digit favorite.

Overview

  • Asked Thursday about bringing down the Ravens’ power back, Browns safety Grant Delpit answered "not hard," a remark the team’s account amplified by posting his big hit on Henry from last season.
  • Derrick Henry acknowledged the comment and replied, "We’ll see on Sunday," signaling he plans to let his play speak in Week 2.
  • Browns receiver Jerry Jeudy added to the chatter a day earlier by saying Baltimore’s secondary presents "no challenges."
  • Henry produced 169 rushing yards and two touchdowns in Week 1 and totaled 211 rushing yards with three scores in two games against Cleveland last season, though he also lost a late fumble in the opener.
  • Browns leaders struck a more measured tone, with Myles Garrett saying talk is cheap and defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz stressing disciplined, team tackling to cut off Henry’s north–south lanes.
