“A league source told ESPN that the one Ravens running back that the Giants inquired about was Justice Hill,” Schefter wrote.
That clears up a lot of the Henry chatter from the past couple of weeks, which picked up with Baltimore at 4-5, on a four-game losing streak and dealing with injuries at quarterback.
According to Schefter’s sources, the Ravens recently told Henry they have no intention of trading him and never considered moving him before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline.
Henry, 32, has one more season left on his deal at $15 million, and The Athletic’s Jonathan Jones noted that trading him would risk alienating Lamar Jackson while Baltimore still sees itself in a win-now window.
Harbaugh Knows Hill Better Than Anyone
The Hill connection makes a lot of sense once you remember who’s coaching the Giants now, since John Harbaugh spent 18 seasons as Baltimore’s head coach and was there for every snap of Hill’s NFL career before taking the New York job.
The Ravens drafted Hill out of Oklahoma State in the fourth round, 113th overall, in 2019, and he’s carved out a long run there as a change-of-pace back, passing-down option and special teams contributor.
Harbaugh has already brought seven former Ravens players with him to New York, so adding one more familiar face wouldn’t exactly be out of character.

Hill, 28, has 240 rushing yards this season, second on the Ravens behind Henry, and he’s added 20 catches for 111 yards out of the backfield.
He also scored Baltimore’s only touchdown in Thursday’s loss to Jacksonville, breaking off a 65-yard run in the fourth quarter.
Over eight seasons, Hill has averaged 5.0 yards per carry and 7.5 yards per catch, which is the kind of efficiency that fits a team looking for a complementary back over a workhorse.
He’s also a pending free agent who finished last season on injured reserve with a neck injury, and both of those could keep his trade price a lot lower than what Baltimore would want for Henry.
Giants Backfield Running Thin
The timing lines up with a bad run of injuries in New York’s backfield, which is the main reason the Giants are shopping at the position in the first place.
Cam Skattebo is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game in Philadelphia. He hurt his hamstring at the end of a 42-yard overtime run in the Giants’ 27-21 win over Houston on October 25 and didn’t practice all week, even with the bye.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. is already on injured reserve with his own hamstring injury, so he’ll miss at least four games and can’t return until Week 13.
The New York Giants have expressed interest in Ravens RB Justice Hill, reaching out to Baltimore about a potential trade, per @AdamSchefter. No deal has been reported, but Hill is drawing interest ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. https://t.co/a4FQ1cpK0R

That leaves Devin Singletary in line to lead the backfield against the Eagles, with Greg Desrosiers signed off the Chargers’ practice squad and Eric Gray added to New York’s practice squad for depth.
It’s a bad time to be thin at the position, with the Giants sitting at 4-2-1 atop the NFC East heading into a stretch that has the Eagles on Sunday and the Commanders on Thursday Night Football four days later.
Hill isn’t the only name tied to New York, either, as the Giants have also been linked to Colts star Jonathan Taylor while Indianapolis considers a possible trade before the deadline.
