Derrick Henry gave practice a little jolt this week, and the clip made the rounds fast.
WBAL-TV’s Samantha Croston posted video of Henry walking past a coach in a purple jacket before swinging a hand into the coach’s midsection. The coach doubled over, while Henry kept moving like the moment was nothing at all. Croston put it simply: “Derrick Henry that was not very nice😂,” she wrote.
Polymarket Football turned the scene into a louder headline: “🚨YIKES: Derrick Henry hits a coach at practice 😳,” the account wrote.
Fans had their own fun with it too. “This is unacceptable.
He should be suspended against only the Cleveland Browns as a punishment,” one fan joked. “Sheesh Derrick he’s got kids!
🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂😂😂,” one user said. “Derrick, the playground bully🤣,” one fan joked.
The moment came during a week in which Henry has already been carrying major weight for Baltimore. On Sunday, he ran for 102 yards and caught an 18-yard touchdown pass in the Ravens’ 30-23 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons. He also took a direct snap for the tying two-point conversion.
Henry has been the kind of weapon Baltimore can lean on, and he even showed that lighter side in past media moments. At May OTAs, he brushed off a knee scare after going to the turf. “I laid on the ground a little bit,” Henry said.
Baltimore’s win over Atlanta moved the Ravens into sole possession of first place in the AFC North, and they head to Huntington Bank Field on Sunday to face the Cleveland Browns.
On the Browns side, defensive end Jared Verse talked about the matchup on the team’s website. “He’s the size of a D-end. He’s a very strong back and he has the speed of a running back,” Verse said.
Cleveland is allowing 117.4 rushing yards per game, which ranks 15th most in the league. The Browns also fell 17-12 to the New York Jets last week.

The Ravens tight end room has been one of the more closely watched parts of the roster heading into Week 6, and recent turnover there could give Josh Cuevas a real chance to get on the field.

Marlon Humphrey Is Tired Of One Weird Browns Problem
