Adam Schefter Reveals Ravens’ NFL Trade Deadline Plans For Derrick Henry

ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter reported on the Baltimore Ravens' trade deadline plans for running back Derrick Henry.

Adam Schefter revealed on Saturday that the Baltimore Ravens have decided not to trade star running back Derrick Henry before the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday. Senior NFL insider Schefter made the announcement during the Monday episode of The Pat McAfee Show, stating that the team's stance has not changed. The Ravens currently sit at 4-5 this season, below .500 for the first time in the campaign following their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9's Thursday Night Football game.

They have lost four consecutive games and are in last place in the AFC North. Quarterback Lamar Jackson is expected to miss the rest of the season due to a thumb injury, with the team's starting quarterback role now falling to Jacoby Brissett, who was acquired from the Arizona Cardinals via trade on Friday. Both Jackson and backup Tyler Huntley are currently on injured reserve.

The Ravens also have a strong chance to return to .500 in Week 10 when they host the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football. With opposing defenses no longer needing to worry about Jackson's rushing ability, they have been able to focus on containing Henry. The Pro Bowl running back has struggled over the last four games, failing to gain more than 60 scrimmage yards in each contest.

He scored eight total touchdowns in Baltimore's first five games of the season but has scored just once in the last four contests.
