Ravens’ Derrick Henry Update Announced by NFL on Tuesday
The 2024 NFL season didn’t conclude the way running back Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens had hoped. Despite a solid 12-5 regular-season record and entering the playoffs on a four-game winning streak, the Ravens were eliminated in the divisional round with a narrow 27-25 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Still, it wasn’t the final showcase for Baltimore’s top talent. The Ravens had nine players selected for the Pro Bowl, including quarterback Lamar Jackson, running back Derrick Henry, wide receiver Zay Flowers, and safety Kyle Hamilton.
Unfortunately, Zay Flowers, who missed both of the Ravens’ playoff games due to injury, was replaced by Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.
On Tuesday, the NFL also announced Derrick Henry’s replacement, though the reason for his withdrawal remains unclear. Henry played every game during the season and wasn’t listed on the Ravens’ injury report leading up to the divisional round.
Bills running back James Cook will take Henry’s place, marking his second consecutive Pro Bowl appearance. The Pro Bowl Games are set to take place from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2.
“The NFL is adding two more Buffalo Bills to the AFC Pro Bowl roster…” Dorian Alerte wrote on BuffaloBills.com. “[Connor] McGovern replaces Kansas City Chiefs C Creed Humphrey, who will be playing in the Super Bowl, and Cook replaces Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry.”
