The Lions picked up a 4th-rounder in the trade of David Montgomery. They may use that selection on a replacement RB. Robert Henry is projected to go in that range and appears to be of relatively low health risk.
Here is the excerpt of my medical report on Robert Henry:
(Ages in parentheses are at start of 2026 season and are factored into the concern level. Injury info and ages based on available public information are unverified and subject to update. Games played data courtesy of sports-reference.com.)
Robert Henry, RB (24) – UTSA
Projected round 5-7. Ran 4.52 40-yard dash at combine. Measured 5’9”, 196 lb.
Concern level 3/10
Henry has a couple injuries to check out. He missed a game or two in his final season for unknown reasons. The severity of the ankle sprains in 2024 needs investigation as it ended his season.
The biggest issue overall may be his age which is older than you want for a rookie RB.
He finished his last three years of college with 408 carries for 2339 yards (5.7 Y/A).
