Henry, an undrafted free agent from the University of Texas at San Antonio, had an impressive preseason performance. This move comes in response to the Seahawks' need for backfield depth following the placement of first-round pick Jadarian Price on injured reserve. The status of Zach Charbonet's return remains uncertain. Henry's collegiate performance included over 1,000 rushing yards and nine touchdowns last season.
