- Baltimore Ravens informed Derrick Henry they have no intention of trading him, and league sources say he is not expected to be moved before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, ending weeks of speculation.
- Justice Hill was the only running back the New York Giants inquired about with Baltimore, a league source said; the Ravens never considered dealing Henry before the deadline, and there is no direct evidence former coaches John Harbaugh or Mike Vrabel asked about him.
- Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley are both injured, with Huntley out for the season and Baltimore hoping Jackson can return later this season — the quarterback losses are what fueled the trade speculation around Henry.
- Jacoby Brissett, the former Arizona Cardinals quarterback the Ravens turned to, is believed capable of keeping the club competitive and in playoff contention until Jackson is ready, and Baltimore is not ready to give up on the season.
- Jacksonville Jaguars handed Baltimore a 33-10 loss Thursday night, the Ravens' third straight defeat by at least 20 points — a first in franchise history — leaving them 4-5.
- Derrick Henry moved into seventh place on the NFL career rushing list, passing Jerome Bettis and LaDainian Tomlinson with 13,707 yards, and has a chance to pass Curtis Martin (14,101) for sixth this season.
- Derrick Henry said he has not discussed a trade with management and told the struggling Ravens, "I have not mentioned me going anywhere else... Let's go back to work. Let's try to get better and turn this thing around."
Why it matters: Baltimore's 4-5 season and the loss of Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley fueled speculation, but the Ravens never considered dealing Henry before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline — the Giants' only inquiry was about Justice Hill. Henry's 13,707 career yards stay in Baltimore while Jacoby Brissett bridges for the injured Jackson.
