• Cowboys' KJ Henry: Moving to Dallas

  10/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Henry signed with the Cowboys on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Henry was a fifth-round selection by the Commanders in the 2023 Draft but wasn't able to make an impact there. Ultimately, he found his way to Cincinnati, who waived him from its roster on Sept. 17. The second-year pro has 19 combined tackles, two passes defended and 1.5 sacks in 12 career games. With the Cowboys, he'll be tasked with bolstering their depth upfront with DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) and Micah Parsons (ankle) both expected to miss time.

  Henry was waived by the Bengals on Tuesday. Henry appeared in both games for Cincinnati this season but only played 10 snaps on defense while seeing seven snaps on special teams. The second-year pro was selected in the fifth round by the Commanders in the 2023 NFL Draft but was unable to stick there as well. He'll now work to find another opportunity elsewhere.

• Commanders' K.J. Henry: Contributes as rookie

  01/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Henry recorded 19 tackles 14 solo), two pass defenses and 1.5 sacks across 10 games during his 2023 rookie season. The fifth-round pick made just one appearance before November, strictly playing special teams, but then got more playing time once the Commanders traded DEs Chase Young and Montez Sweat. Henry played at least 30 snaps on defense in each of the team's final seven games, but he won't necessarily have that kind of role in his second season, with the Commanders presumably looking to upgrade their shaky group of edge defenders this spring.
