On behalf of the NFL Network, I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the friends, families, and fans of Chris Henry. He will truly be missed. Chris Henry, wide receiver of the Cincinnati Begals passed away Thursday morning December 17, 2009.

"We knew him in a different way than his public persona," Bengals owner Mike Brown said of the player who was suspended five times during his five-year NFL career. "He had worked through the troubles in his life and had finally seemingly reached the point where everything was going to blossom. And he was going to have the future we all wanted for him. It's painful to us. We feel it in our hearts, and we will miss him."

A moment of silence will be held on behalf of Chris Henry before tonight's Saints vs. Cowboys game Saturday night at 8pm ET.
