The Baltimore Ravens' coaches collectively held their breath during Tuesday's practice session.

All-Pro running back Derrick Henry fell to the turf and grabbed his knee after making contact with a teammate. Naturally, the Ravens stopped OTAs for a moment to make sure he avoided a serious injury.

Luckily for the Ravens, they were quickly assured that Henry was fine. The 11-year veteran got up and eventually returned to 11-on-11 drills.

"I laid on the ground a little bit. The ground felt like a bed for a little while," Henry said. "And I saw you all looked hot and bored, so I was like, 'I've got to give them something to tweet and write.'"

Defying Father Time.

As of this moment, Henry ranks 10th all-time in rushing yards. Another 1,000-yard season

If the Ravens want to come out of the gates hot this fall, they'll need Henry at his best.

The Ravens will kick off their 2026 season on Sept. 13 against the Indianapolis Colts.
