Ravens' Willie Henry: Nursing back injury
Rotowire
Henry was placed on injured reserve Tuesday due to a back injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
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.

Ravens' Willie Henry: Healthy, thriving in camp
Rotowire
Henry turned in another impressive practice Tuesday, Garrett Downing of the team's official site reports.
The Michigan product spent his rookie season on injured reserve, but Henry has hit the ground running since the start of camp. Henry (6-foot-3, 300 pounds) was a disruptive player in college, racking up 10.0 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks from the defensive interior in his final season in Ann Arbor. Baltimore is deep along the defensive line, but Henry can help his cause towards locking down a starting role if he continues to make waves on the practice field.
