Derrick Henry briefly injured in Ravens practice drill during OTA

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry provided a brief scare during a voluntary organized team activity on Tuesday when he went to the ground after colliding with a teammate. The veteran player remained on the turf for a period of time, causing concern among teammates and coaches, before returning to practice.

The incident occurred during a drill when Henry banged knees with a defensive lineman. He was not carrying the ball at the time. After staying down, he eventually got up, briefly left the field, and then returned to participate in 11-on-11 drills later in the session.

Speaking to reporters afterward, Henry downplayed the severity of the collision. He said he was fine and joked about his time on the ground. He said the ground felt like a bed for a little while, and that he saw the reporters looking hot and bored, so he felt he had to give them something to tweet and write about.

The 32-year-old Henry is entering his second season with the Ravens after a highly productive 2025 campaign. He rushed for 1,595 yards and 16 touchdowns on 307 carries last season, continuing a career of elite production. He has rushed for over 13,000 yards and 122 touchdowns in his 11-year career.
