Derrick Henry is staying in Baltimore.

The Ravens have told their star running back they have no intention of trading him before Tuesday's deadline, league sources told ESPN. That should end weeks of speculation about the five-time Pro Bowler.

Baltimore is said to have never seriously considered moving Henry. The one Ravens running back the New York Giants asked about was Justice Hill.

Why the rumors started

The talk picked up after the Ravens lost quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley to injuries. Huntley is out for the season while the team hopes Jackson can return later this year. That pushed Baltimore to trade for Jacoby Brissett.

The Ravens are 4-5 after a 33-10 loss to Jacksonville on Thursday night. It was their third straight defeat by at least 20 points for the first time in franchise history.

Henry wants to fix it

Henry said after the game that he has not talked to management about a trade.

"I have not mentioned me going anywhere else," he said. "I'm saying, 'Let's go back to work. Let's try to get better and turn this thing around.'"

The 11-year veteran has 13,707 career rushing yards and sits seventh on the NFL's all-time list. He has a shot this season at passing Curtis Martin (14,101) for sixth.

Baltimore visits the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football next.
