"The Baltimore Ravens have a bye this week, and it came at the perfect time. At 1-5, the Ravens will enter late October with their backs against the wall and zero room for error. Quarterback Lamar Jackson, out for the past two games with a hamstring injury, is expected to return in Week 8 against the Chicago Bears; their schedule stiffens from there with three consecutive road games."
"During Monday's episode of The Bill Simmons Podcast, Simmons - well known locally as The Boston Sports Guy - openly tried to start a Patriots trade rumor (that actually makes a ton of sense). With the Ravens' season on life support, Simmons urged the Patriots to check in on running back Derrick Henry, who's had a hard time getting going this season with Baltimore playing so often from behind."
The New England Patriots face the Tennessee Titans on Sunday as they chase a fourth straight victory and Mike Vrabel prepares for his first game against the franchise that fired him. The Baltimore Ravens have a Week 7 bye while sitting at 1-5, giving them little margin for error. Quarterback Lamar Jackson is expected to return in Week 8, but the team faces three consecutive road games thereafter. Continued struggles could push Baltimore toward selling assets at the Nov. 4 trade deadline. Running back Derrick Henry has a prior relationship with Vrabel, and Bill Simmons proposed the Patriots inquire about Henry as a potential trade target.
