The Browns are perhaps one of the few teams that isn't impressed by the Ravens' secondary this year. And ahead of Sunday's matchup, Cleveland doesn't seem intimidated by Baltimore's formidable rushing attack either.

Browns defensive back Grant Delpit was asked Thursday how hard it is to bring down Ravens running back Derrick Henry and told reporters, "Not hard."

Delpit's remark comes a day after Cleveland receiver Jerry Jeudy said Baltimore's star-studded secondary - which features All-Pro players Kyle Hamilton and Marlon Humphrey - poses "no challenges."

Henry responded to Delpit later Thursday.

"We'll see on Sunday," the five-time Pro Bowler said, according to Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun.

Led by Lamar Jackson and Henry, the Ravens boast one of the NFL's premier offensive units. Baltimore looked unstoppable against the Buffalo Bills in its season opener, with Henry rushing for 169 yards and two touchdowns. However, he lost a costly fumble and the Bills staged a memorable comeback to win 41-40.

"Don't do what Buffalo did. That was ugly tape," Delpit said about the Browns' defensive preparation to face the Ravens. "They scored (40 points), they're feeling good, they're hot right now. We're going to switch some things up, do what we gotta do. We're very familiar with this team."

Henry put on a show during his first year with the Ravens in 2024, collecting 2,114 yards and 18 touchdowns from scrimmage. He led the NFL with 42 broken tackles.

Delpit delivered a massive tackle on Henry last year. However, the Ravens tailback still rushed for 211 yards and three touchdowns in two games against the Browns in 2024.
