Baltimore Ravens announce the departure of six players

Derrick Henry thought there was a good chance he was going to become a Raven at last year’s trade deadline. When it didn’t happen, did he watch the AFC Championship game between the Ravens and Chiefs, wondering what could’ve been?

“Hell yes,” he said.

As has long been rehashed around Baltimore this offseason, the Ravens only ran the ball six times with their running backs in that AFC Championship loss.

Henry couldn’t help but think things would’ve been different had he been on that field. And among the reasons why Baltimore feels the result will be different this time is because Henry will be on that grand stage Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium for the NFL’s regular season kickoff game.

“I was wishing I could suit up that day [when I was] watching that game,” Henry said. “But yes, now it’s my turn, so [I have] to take advantage of it. It’s going to be a hell of a game.”
