Barring any late injury or setback, Derrick Henry will play against the Texans. He is listed as active on the Ravens roster and is expected to suit up.

Henry also stayed away from the injury report this week. He was a full participant during Monday and Tuesday's practice sessions, with all signs pointing toward him playing against Houston.

Henry signed with the Ravens this past offseason. He previously spent eight seasons with the Tennessee Titans, where he earned four Pro Bowl honors.

Henry's addition to Baltimore has improved the team's running game immensely. The Ravens have already qualified for the playoffs and now have their sights set on clinching the AFC North in the coming weeks.

How has Derrick Henry performed this season?

Henry is having a season to remember. The running back has racked up 1,636 yards and 13 touchdowns on 278 carries. He has also contributed 152 yards and caught two TDs on 15 receptions.

Henry has recorded seven 100+ rushing yards games this season. However, he will want to end his four-game drought without a TD when the Ravens travel to face Houston.
