In a tense moment during the Baltimore Ravens’ recent matchup against the Cleveland Browns, running back Derrick Henry was involved in a significant collision that resulted in a head injury for Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. The incident occurred in the third quarter of the game, which ended with the Browns winning 29-24.
The injury happened when Owusu-Koramoah collided headfirst with Henry’s arm. This violent impact led to immediate concern as Owusu-Koramoah fell to the ground, appearing to suffer a head injury [[1]](https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/10/27/ravens-browns-jeremiah-owusu-koramoah-injury-derrick-henry/)[[2]](https://dawgpounddaily.com/scary-collision-forces-key-browns-defender-out-of-game-in-week-8-vs-ravens-01jb7psvn4wn).
Medical personnel quickly attended to Owusu-Koramoah, who was subsequently carted off the field on a backboard. Fortunately, he had movement in his arms and legs and was taken to a local hospital for observation [[1]](https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/10/27/ravens-browns-jeremiah-owusu-koramoah-injury-derrick-henry/).
As one of the Browns’ key defensive players, his absence was felt significantly. He had recorded seven tackles and three tackles for loss before the injury [[1]](https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/10/27/ravens-browns-jeremiah-owusu-koramoah-injury-derrick-henry/).
The Browns were already dealing with injuries, as cornerback Denzel Ward was placed in concussion protocol earlier in the game. This left Cleveland’s defense in a precarious position against the Ravens [[2]](https://dawgpounddaily.com/scary-collision-forces-key-browns-defender-out-of-game-in-week-8-vs-ravens-01jb7psvn4wn).
Despite the severity of the collision, Derrick Henry was not reported to have sustained any injuries from the play. His performance and health will be closely monitored as the Ravens continue their season [[1]](https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/10/27/ravens-browns-jeremiah-owusu-koramoah-injury-derrick-henry/).
