What happened to Derrick Henry?
As far as we know, Henry is not dealing with an injury.
So, it would appear Henry was just getting some rest on the first of the Ravens' two second-quarter drives.
As for the final two drives of the first half, Henry typically doesn't see the field when the Ravens are in obvious passing situations and two-minute drills, so no surprise there.
