Overview

  • ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the Ravens informed Derrick Henry they have no intention of trading him before the deadline.
  • Henry remains under contract through 2027, though his 2027 base salary is not guaranteed.
  • The New York Giants placed a call to inquire about Ravens backup Justice Hill, who is a pending free agent on a reported $2.75 million 2026 salary.
  • Baltimore has dropped four straight games to fall to 4-5 and has named Jacoby Brissett the Week 10 starter while Lamar Jackson's return from a thumb injury remains uncertain.
  • Keeping Henry preserves a workhorse option for the offense, reflects the franchise's short- and long-term planning around Jackson and contract timing, and pushes interested teams like the Giants to pursue other backfield targets.
