The Commanders claimed Henry off waivers from the Seahawks on Tuesday.
After being cut by Seattle on Monday, Henry quickly caught on with the Commanders. The 2026 undrafted free agent out of UTSA had previously joined the Commanders for training camp and the preseason, only to be waived prior to Week 1. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) on injured reserve for at least two more games and Jeremy McNichols (foot) likely to miss the remainder of the season, Henry will provide the Commanders with another option in the backfield behind Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler. Henry didn't end up making his NFL debut during his time on the Seahawks roster.

Henry was signed to the Seahawks' active roster Monday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
Henry has spent the entirety of the 2026 campaign on the practice squad with Washington so far, but he will now get a chance with Seattle's active roster. The running back will provide the team with an additional depth option behind Emanuel Wilson and George Holani while Zach Charbonnet (knee) works his way back from the PUP list and Jadarian Price (chest) is on injured reserve. Seattle also signed veteran Joe Mixon to the practice squad Monday, so there are many moving parts for the team at running back right now.

If the running back goes unclaimed on waivers, there's a strong chance he sticks around as a member of the Commanders' practice squad.
