Overview
- ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky said Baltimore ranks 32nd in giving running backs the ball on first and second down.
- When the Ravens do hand off on early downs, they average 6.0 yards per carry, which Orlovsky noted is second-best in the NFL.
- Derrick Henry has 49 carries through four games and received only eight in the Week 4 loss to the Chiefs.
- With Jackson expected to miss time, multiple reports anticipate a larger Henry workload starting in Week 5 against Houston.
- Coaches may weigh ball security and personnel absences after Henry’s three fumbles and injuries to key run-game pieces and the defense.
