Is Derrick Henry playing tonight? Exploring Ravens RB's status for Week 12 MNF clash vs. Chargers

Derrick Henry is one-half of the best running back and quarterback duo in the league, along with Lamar Jackson. The 4x Pro Bowler has picked up from where he left off in his days with the Tennessee Titans.

Let's examine Henry's availability ahead of tonight's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Is Derrick Henry playing tonight?

Yes, Derrick Henry is playing in tonight's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Alabama Crimson Tide product goes into the game without an injury designation, and he'll look to help his side achieve victory against the hot Chargers.

Henry is an integral part of John Harbaugh's offense thanks to his bruising style of play and remarkable consistency. The long-time Ravens head coach will be looking to the former Heisman Trophy winner to rack up major rushing yards on Monday Night Football.

While Henry is set to feature, the Ravens will be without at least two players in tonight's game. They'll be without safety Sanoussi Kane due to an ankle injury and cornerback Arthur Maulet due to a calf injury. A few other players are listed as doubtful and questionable, so they'll be game-time decisions.

Derrick Henry is enjoying an All-Pro-caliber season

Derrick Henry's last season with the Tennessee Titans was decent, but some analysts were speculating about his long-term durability. The Titans eventually let the All-Pro running back walk in free agency, and the Baltimore Ravens snapped him up.

Henry was expected to come good in Baltimore, but few could have predicted his impact in his first 11 games with the Ravens. That's because the Alabama Crimson Tide product is putting up MVP-caliber stats in Baltimore, racking up 197 carries, 1,185 rushing yards and an NFL-high 13 rushing touchdowns.

King Henry has recorded touchdowns in every game he's played this season, and he's on track to set career highs in most statistical categories. Furthermore, he's averaging a mind-boggling 6.0 yards per carry in John Harbaugh's offense. He'll start tonight's game against the Los Angeles Chargers, and don't be surprised if he records his sixth game with 100+ rushing yards of the season.
