After leading the AFC in rushing yards in 2024, Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry will not be with the conference’s team for the Pro Bowl Games. On Tuesday, the Buffalo Bills announced running back James Cook had replaced Henry on the Pro Bowl roster. No reason was given for Henry’s absence.
Henry becomes the second former Alabama player replaced for this week’s Pro Bowl Games. Chosen as an NFC guard, Landon Dickerson will not be at the all-star event because the Philadelphia Eagles advanced to the Super Bowl.
In his first season with the Ravens, Henry ran for 1,921 yards – the 11th-highest single-season total in NFL history – on 325 carries in 2024. He tied for the league lead with 16 rushing touchdowns. With two TD receptions, Henry set the franchise single-season record for touchdowns with 18. Henry had 19 receptions for 193 yards in 2024.
Henry followed his regular-season output by running for 270 yards and three touchdowns on 42 carries in two NFL playoff games.
Henry led the AFC in rushing yards for the second straight season and fourth time in the past six years. He was the runner-up in 2022 and finished fifth in 2021, when a broken foot limited him to eight regular-season games. Henry also had the second-most rushing yards in the AFC in 2018. In 2019 and 2020, Henry also led the NFL in rushing yards.
