Derrick Henry Faces Former Team Titans as a Raven

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry is set to face his former team, the Tennessee Titans, for the first time since joining the Ravens. With eight seasons and numerous accolades with the Titans under his belt, this Sunday’s game marks a significant event for Henry. “It’s going to be a crazy moment to be playing against the team that I came in the league playing for,” Henry commented on the upcoming game.

Despite his successful history with the Titans, including two rushing titles and an NFL Offensive Player of the Year award in 2020, Henry was not retained by Tennessee during free agency. Instead, the Titans chose to sign Tony Pollard, signaling a new direction for the team. “It was bittersweet,” Henry said about not receiving an offer from the Titans. He mentioned that he felt the ‘writing was on the wall’ indicating that the Titans were ready to move on.

Henry’s transition to the Ravens has been fruitful, making him the NFL leader in both rushing yards and touchdowns since his arrival. This past performance and his history with the Titans add extra layers of intrigue to the upcoming matchup. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson emphasized the significance of the game, not just for Henry but for the entire team, expressing a collective desire for a victory against the Titans.
