  • Henley said he respects the business side of the NFL and will “do my job,” adding that veterans including Khalil Mack and Derwin James helped steady his return.
  • The linebacker has started all 8 Chargers games in 2026, posting 51 tackles, 2 fumble recoveries and 1 interception as Los Angeles heads into Week 10.
