Derrick Henry needs 88 yards to reach seventh on the NFL rushing list
Ravens running back Derrick Henry has 13,597 career rushing yards heading into Baltimore’s Week 8 game at Buffalo.
He needs 66 yards to pass Jerome Bettis and move to eighth on the all-time list.
A total of 88 yards would put him ahead of LaDainian Tomlinson and into seventh place.
If Henry also scores a rushing touchdown, he would join Hall of Famers Marshall Faulk and Marcus Allen as the only players with at least 40 rushing touchdowns for multiple teams.
Henry previously reached that mark with the Tennessee Titans.
Emmitt Smith’s career record is 18,355 yards, leaving Henry 4,758 yards short of matching it.
Smith believes Henry could catch and pass him, but doing so would likely require a strong finish to 2026 and about four more years of playing.
