49ers add depth to injury-ravaged defensive end room with low-risk signing. Multiple outlets confirm Henry joins on one-year deal after workout, suggesting internal evaluation process. Former fifth-round Commanders pick indicates modest pedigree and limited proven production at NFL level. Fans view this as necessary but uninspiring band-aid for depleted pass rush rotation. Henry must prove he belongs in rotation or becomes practice squad casualty soon.
