If Derrick Henry misses time

Baltimore’s Sept. 8 Week 1 depth chart lists Justice Hill as RB2 and Rasheen Ali as RB3. Hill is the clearest next option, though a Henry absence could still produce a committee.

Baltimore’s Sept. 8 Week 1 depth chart lists Justice Hill as RB2 and Rasheen Ali as RB3. Hill is the clearest next option, though a Henry absence could still produce a committee.

Baltimore's third-down back and Lamar Jackson's trusted protector, averaging 4.8 YPC and 8.3 yards per catch since 2023. If Henry missed time he would keep the passing-down role and split early downs, not become a 15-carry lead back.
