Henry (illness) signed to the 49ers' practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old was waived by San Francisco with a non-football illness in July, but he'll receive another chance with the organization. Henry has appeared in only 17 games since being drafted by the Ravens in the fourth round of the 2016 draft, and he hasn't seen game action since 2018.

The Ravens let Henry go Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henry had a productive career in Baltimore despite battling injuries in his first two seasons. Since 2017, Henry suited up in 17 games, accumulating 36 tackles (26 solo) and 4.5 sacks. The 25-year-old could be an intriguing option off waivers should a team be interested in adding defensive line depth.

Henry (back) has the option to return late this season, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henry was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a herniated disk in his back. While Henry will be forced to miss eight games while on injured reserve, his season may not be over. The Michigan product still has the option to return for Week 17 and the playoffs if he's far enough in his recovery and if the Ravens still have something to play for.

Henry was placed on injured reserve Tuesday due to a back injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It previously wasn't clear what sort of injury sent Henry to IR. Regardless, the third-year defensive end is now guaranteed to miss at least the next eight games of the season. Look for seventh-round rookie Zach Sieler, who was a two-time consensus All-American during his final two seasons at Ferris State, to get a chance to help fill the 27.3 defensive snaps per game Henry vacated.

Henry (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
This move comes as a surprise because Henry wasn't listed on the Week 7 injury report and there was no sign that he was injured during Sunday's loss to the Saints. However, Jeff Zrebiec of the The Baltimore Athletic reported that Henry was seen limping around the locker room after the game, suggesting the defensive tackle is nursing a lower-body injury -- and it's also possible this situation could be related to the hernia surgery that caused the defensive tackle to miss the first three games of the season. In any case, Henry's absence should open a door for promising seventh-round rookie Zach Sieler to finally see regular playing time.

Henry (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Henry was able to practice in a limited capacity each day this week. The Michigan product has yet to play in a game this season as he recovers from a procedure for an umbilical hernia in late August.
