Derrick Henry reached a top speed of 21.68 mph on his 69-yard run, tied for the 7th-fastest speed by a ball carrier this season, and Henry's fastest play since Week 6, 2021 (career-high 21.80 mph).

Derrick Henry set season-highs in rushing yards (153) and rushing yards over expected (+80) on 19 carries against the Jaguars in Week 18.

Lands with Ravens

Henry is signing a two-year contract with the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: It's a match that's been rumored all offseason, after the Ravens infamously attempted just six RB carries in an AFC Championship Game loss to Kansas City. For Henry, it'll be the first change of scenery in his pro career, following an eight-year stint with the Titans that featured five 1,000-yard rushing seasons, including three over 1,500 and one over 2,000. He led the league with 280 carries in 2023 and hit pay dirt 12 times, though he averaged a career-low 4.17 yards per attempt while ceding…read more

Likely to leave Titans

Henry doesn't seem likely to stay with the Titans, though GM Ran Carthon suggested Tuesday that the team will at least have conversations about re-signing the running back, ESPN's Turron Davenport reports.

Analysis: ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday that none of the big-name RBs eligible for free agency in March are expected to receive franchise tags, including Henry. New Titans coach Brian Callahan has expressed interest in re-signing the back, but Henry's stated emphasis on winning a Super Bowl could cause him to look elsewhere than Tennessee.

Could fit with new coach?

New Titans coach Brian Callahan suggested Friday that he'd like to work with Henry, who is scheduled for unrestricted free agency this offseason, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports. "A player like [Henry' fits into any offense," Callahan said. "If he's open to a return, that fits for us. I'm never going to reject good players. "

Analysis: The hiring of a head coach that previously served as offensive coordinator for the pass-first Bengals has been taken by some as a(nother) sign Henry is likely to leave Tennessee. Callahan does have a point, however, in part because Henry is probably a better receiver and blocker than he gets credit for. The two other big factors here are: A) money, and B) the possibility Henry wants to play for a team with better Super Bowl odds in 2024. He turned 30 at the beginning of January, three days…read more

Leads Titans to upset win

Henry rushed the ball 19 times for 153 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-20 win over Jacksonville.

Analysis: In what is likely to be his final game as a Titan, Henry delivered a vintage performance to help the team to an upset win. His longest gain of the day went for 69 yards on a run up the middle, which set up a touchdown to DeAndre Hopkins two plays later. Henry also took a trip to the end zone himself earlier in the contest, ripping off an 18-yard run off the left end for his 12th touchdown of the year. Henry topped 1,000 rushing yards for the fifth time in his career and now has double-digit…read more

Held to 12 touches

Henry rushed the ball 12 times for 42 yards in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans. He was targeted once but did not record a catch.

Analysis: Henry was limited by game script, as the Titans found themselves down by 20 points before halftime. He was held to his lowest carry total since Week 11 as a result and was held under 50 rushing yards for the third time in his last four games. He's masked his yardage shortcomings by finding the end zone twice in four of his last six games, though he's become an unreliable weekly option down the stretch of the fantasy season.

Held to 12 touches

Henry rushed the ball 12 times for 42 yards in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans. He was targeted once but did not record a catch.

Analysis: Henry was limited by game script, as the Titans found themselves down by 20 points before halftime. He was held to his lowest carry total since Week 11 as a result and was held under 50 rushing yards for the third time in his last four games. He's masked his yardage shortcomings by finding the end zone twice in four of his last six games, though he's become an unreliable weekly option down the stretch of the fantasy season.

Bounces back with two TDs

Henry had 19 carries for 88 yards with a touchdown and one reception for 11 yards against Seattle on Sunday. He also completed his only pass attempt for a 12-yard touchdown in the 20-17 loss.

Analysis: Henry rebounded quickly from his worst game of the season against Houston last week by scoring both of Tennessee's touchdowns in Sunday's narrow loss to Seattle. The 29-year-old got a stagnant Titans offense going in the first quarter when he lined up out of the gun and threw his second passing touchdown of the season. Henry has provided fantasy managers with at least two touchdowns in four out of his last five contests. The star tailback will seek vengeance in a rematch against next Sunday…read more

Terrible showing against Texans

Henry rushed the ball 16 times for nine yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Texans. He added four receptions on four targets for one yard.

Analysis: Henry saw plenty of opportunity -- he earned at least 20 touches for the fourth time in his last eight games -- but that was the end of the good news. He had neither a rush attempt nor a reception of more than six yards, leaving him with his lowest yardage total of the season. Henry should have a chance to bounce back in Week 16 against a Seahawks defense that has been susceptible to opposing rushing attacks this season.

Finds end zone twice

Henry rushed the ball 17 times for 34 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 28-27 win over Miami. He added one reception on two targets for 17 yards.

Analysis: The Titans were surprisingly in a neutral game script for much of the matchup, which allowed Henry to maintain the majority of the work out of the team's backfield. He was bottled up on the ground for the entire contest -- his longest rush went for only six yards -- but he managed to find the end zone from one and three yards away. After tallying only four touchdowns across his first 10 games of the season, Henry has now scored six times in the last three contests. He'll face a mediocre Texans'…read more

In line to play Monday

Henry was limited at practice Thursday for rest purposes, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: It's notable that Henry isn't listed with an injury designation on Thursday's practice report, given that he left this past Sunday's game against the Colts to be evaluated for a concussion. Since then, Wyatt relays that Henry has been feeling good, with no concussion symptoms, and will be ready to play in Monday night's game against the Dolphins. The running back thus is set to continue to pace Tennessee's Week 14 backfield, with Tyjae Spears on hand to work in a complementary role.

Avoids concussion

Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that Henry is not in concussion protocol, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Analysis: Henry didn't return to Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Colts after exiting in the fourth quarter to be checked for a concussion, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported after the game concluded that the running back was following the protocol. A day later, however, Vrabel said that Henry won't be subject to the protocol ahead of the Titans' Week 14 game against the Dolphins in Miami, with the coach noting that the three-time Pro Bowler felt fine after going through a workout Monday and hasn't…read more

Officially in concussion protocol

Henry was placed in the league's concussion protocol following a Week 13 loss to the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Henry departed Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to be checked for a concussion, and he's indeed been placed in the NFL's five-step protocol. He won't be eligible to suit up for game action until gaining full clearance, which puts the veteran running back's status for the Titans' upcoming Monday Night Football matchup against Miami in jeopardy. If Henry misses any time, rookie Tyjae Spears would get his first opportunity to start. Spears rushed the ball 16 times for 75 yards and added four…read more

Exits Sunday's game

Henry exited Sunday's game against the Colts with a possible concussion, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Before exiting the contest to be evaluated for a concussion, Henry carried 21 times for 102 yards and two TDs and caught one of his two targets for 18 yards. In Henry's absence, Tyjae Spears is next up for the Titans' backfield work. Next up for Tennessee is a Monday night contest against the Dolphins on Dec. 11.

Finds end zone twice

Henry rushed the ball 18 times for 76 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Panthers. He added one reception on two targets for zero yards.

Analysis: It wasn't quite a vintage performance from Henry, but he nonetheless powered the Titans' offense. He tallied long gains of 18 and 15 yards and also found the end zone from one and 10 yards away. It was a needed bounce-back effort for Henry, as he entered Sunday's contest with only 238 rushing yards across his last four games combined. It was also his first multi-touchdown performance of the season, bringing his total to six on the campaign.

Listed as full practice participant

Henry (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Henry was deemed limited in Wednesday's session, but his full listing a day later indicates that the running back's initial listing was indicative of load management rather than an injury that could impact his Week 12 availability. He thus is slated to continue to lead the Titans backfield Sunday against the Panthers, a role that has led to him logging double-digit carries in all 10 games that he's played in, though he's been held to 62 yards on 21 carries over his last two outings.

Limited by ankle issue

Henry was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: During the Titans' 34-14 loss to the Jaguars this past Sunday, Henry logged 25 of 40 snaps on offense, rushing 10 times for 38 yards and adding one catch for six yards. At this stage, the Titans haven't suggested that Henry's Week 12 availability is in danger, and it's possible that his listed limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related. With that in mind, Henry will presumably need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the…read more

Held to 44 total yards

Henry rushed the ball 10 times for 38 yards in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Jaguars. He added one reception for six yards.

Analysis: The Titans had the ball for just over 23 minutes and ran only 38 offensive plays in the blowout loss. That limited the potential for their skill-position players to produce, and Henry's line was illustrative of that. Positively, he still led Tennessee's backfield in carries and yards. On the other hand, Henry has only 21 carries for 62 yards combined across his last two games.

Completely stymied in Week 10 loss

Henry rushed 11 times for 24 yards and brought in his only target for minus-4 yards in the Titans' 20-6 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Analysis: Henry's final numbers essentially spell out how frustrating an afternoon it was for the star running back. His rush attempts tied a season low, while his yardage tally was only higher than his 20-yard effort versus the Browns in Week 3. Game script increasingly put a crimp on Henry's opportunities Sunday, and he'll have another tough matchup on the ground versus the Jaguars in a Week 11 divisional road clash.

Well-rounded effort in loss

Henry rushed 17 times for 75 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of four targets for 27 yards in the Titans' 20-16 loss to the Steelers on Thursday night.

Analysis: Henry turned in what can be labeled as a prototypical 2023 effort for him, as he made some solid contributions in the passing game alongside a workman-like effort on the ground. The bruising back scored his fourth touchdown of the campaign just past the halfway point of the second quarter as well on a two-yard run, making it an above-average fantasy night. Henry will look to extend his streak of at least 75 rushing yards to four games when the Titans visit the Buccaneers in a Week 10 road…read more

Good to go Thursday

Henry (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Steelers.

Analysis: Henry, who was listed as a limited participant Monday and Tuesday, was deemed a full practice participant Wednesday and has been cleared to face the Steelers. He'll be joined in the backfield by rookie quarterback Will Levis, who will make a second straight start while Ryan Tannehill (ankle) remains sidelined once again. Henry, whom the Titans elected not to move prior to Tuesday's trade deadline, is thus set to pace the team's rushing attack versus Pittsburgh. Though Levis authored a…read more

Limited again Tuesday

Henry (ankle) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Analysis: For a second consecutive day, Henry was operating with a cap on his reps at Tuesday's walkthrough, giving him just one more chance to log every on-field rep before the Titans potentially hand him a designation for Thursday's game at Pittsburgh. With backup running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) getting a full listing on Tuesday's report after being limited Monday, he appears to be a bit more healthy than Henry as the team makes its way through Week 9 prep.

Tending to ankle issue

Henry was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate due to an ankle injury, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Analysis: Previously, Henry had some practice limitations Week 3 due to a combination of a toe issue and rest, but he was able to put it behind him and play. With three days to prepare for Thursday's game at Pittsburgh, the Titans may be scaling back his reps to keep him as fresh as possible for Week 9 action. Still, Henry's status will need to be monitored to ensure he isn't in danger of sitting out this week.

Totals 122 yards

Henry rushed the ball 22 times for 101 yards in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Falcons. He added four catches for 21 yards.

Analysis: The Titans built a two-score lead before halftime with a surprisingly efficient passing attack, leaving Henry with only 39 yards on the ground. As the team tried to control time of possession in the second half, his volume increased, which allowed him to top 100 yards on the ground for the second time this season despite his longest gain going for only 14 yards. Henry's production on the ground has taken a significant downturn through seven games, though he's still averaging over four yards per…read more

Unlikely to be traded

The Titans have told Henry he won't be dealt prior to the NFL trade deadline Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The Titans have reportedly received calls from teams around the league inquiring about Henry's availability. It could make sense for Tennessee to deal him considering its 2-4 record and the fact that Henry is in the final year of his contract. For now, however, it appears he won't be on the move, though nothing will be official until the trade deadline has passed Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET.

Big play highlights day

Henry recorded 12 carries for 97 yards in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Ravens. He added two receptions for 16 yards.

Analysis: Henry was held in check for the majority of the day as the Ravens centered their defensive effort around stopping the run. However, he found space on a direct snap early in the third quarter and ripped off a gain of 63 yards to ultimately set up a field goal for the Titans. One possession later, he tallied the team's only touchdown of the day on a 15-yard scamper into the end zone. While he fell short of the century mark on the ground, Henry has now topped 100 total yards or scored a touchdown…read more

Held in check by Colts

Henry rushed the ball 13 times for 43 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Colts. He added three receptions for 19 yards.

Analysis: After getting on track in Week 4, Henry had a concerning game against the Colts. As his stat line suggests, he was unable to find much room on the ground, and he was also stood up by Zaire Franklin on a key fourth down with only eight minutes remaining in the game -- a play that contributed significantly to the Tennessee loss. Tyjae Spears also saw a significant role in the offense, earning only four touches fewer than Henry. Overall, the effort continued Henry's slow start to the season, as he…read more

Hits stride in Week 4

Henry rushed the ball 22 times for 122 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Bengals. He added one reception for 11 yards and a two-yard passing touchdown.

Analysis: Henry had seen his production dip in every game this season, though he reversed that trend with his first 100-rushing yard performance of the season. He ripped off several big runs, with his longest gain being a 29-yard run into the end zone, during which he ran through several potential tacklers. Henry also found some unconventional ways to contribute to the offense when he threw a two-yard touchdown to Josh Whyle (ankle) after taking a direct snap at the goal line.

Held to 20 yards

Henry rushed 11 times for 20 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Browns.

Analysis: Henry was held to minus-7 yards on four first-half rushing attempts, then saw limited work in the second half as the Titans mustered just three points against the stout Browns defense. The star running back will look to bounce back in Week 4, when the Titans return home to host the Bengals. Cleveland has allowed only one offensive touchdown through three games, so this poor performance can largely be chalked up to a difficult matchup, though Tennessee's poor offensive line play so far this…read more

Healthy for tough Week 3 matchup

Henry (toe) was a full participant in practice Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns, John Glennon of the Nashville Post reports.

Analysis: While the Browns will be adjusting to life without star running back Nick Chubb (knee), Tennessee's workhorse is good to go for this Week 3 clash. Henry was a limited participant Wednesday before missing Thursday's session, and while that absence was reportedly due primarily to rest, it was still reassuring to see Henry get in a full session Friday to prove he's healthy heading into a matchup with a Cleveland defense that's allowing 65.0 rushing yards per game, which is tied with Tennessee for…read more

Returns to practice Friday

Henry (toe) returned to practice Friday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Henry was limited in Wednesday's practice before taking the day off Thursday. His return to practice Friday puts Henry on track to play Sunday against the Browns. The 29-year-old has rushed 40 times for 143 yards and one touchdown through two games while adding five catches for 71 yards on seven targets.

Misses practice Thursday

Henry's absence from practice Thursday was attributed to a combination of his toe issue and rest, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Henry was a limited participant Wednesday, and the running back's listed reasons for his absence Thursday suggest that he was likely having his practice reps managed ahead of Sunday's game agains the Browns. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Henry approaches the Week 3 contest with an injury designation, or if he's fully cleared to play.

Sits out practice Thursday

Henry (toe), who was a limited participant Wednesday, didn't practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Henry's downgrade in practice participation makes the running back's status worth monitoring closely as Sunday's game against the Browns approaches. It's possible that Henry's absence was maintenance-related rather than indicative of a setback, but either way, Friday's injury report should provide added clarity with regard to his Week 3 status. If Henry is limited to any extent this weekend, Tyjae Spears and Julius Chestnut would be next up for added touches in the Titans backfield.

Limited by toe issue

Henry was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a toe injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Henry is nursing an injury after playing 46 of 65 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers en route to rushing 25 times for 80 yards and a touchdown while adding three catches for 15 yards. The Titans haven't provided any indication that the running back is in any danger of missing this weekend's game against the Browns, but he'll presumably need to log a full practice by Friday in order to avoid taking an injury tag into the weekend.

First touchdown of 2023

Henry rushed the ball 25 times for 80 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers. He added three receptions for 15 yards.

Analysis: Henry was predictably more involved in the offense in Week 2 after seeing only 15 carries in the season opener. He had two big plays in the game, including a 23-yard carry in the second quarter that helped set up a field goal. One possession earlier, he leaped across the goal line from one yard away to record both his and the team's first touchdown of the season. Henry has had limited production on the ground by his standards to begin the new campaign, but he has 214 total yards of production.

Big play as pass catcher

Henry rushed the ball 15 times for 63 yards in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the Saints. He added two receptions on three targets for 56 yards.

Analysis: Despite facing only a small deficit throughout the game, the Titans surprisingly abandoned the run in the second half, limiting Henry's workload. He made up for that with a few big plays, the longest of which came on a 46-yard gain on a screen pass late in the second quarter, ultimately setting up a field goal. Though his production came in an unexpected way, Henry put together a fine performance and should be more involved in Week 2 against the Chargers.

Absorbing new offense

Henry, who has spent more time in Nashville this offseason compared to previous years, has been been at the team facility for all six of the Titans' voluntary OTA sessions, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: The Titans' No. 1 back noted that his increased offseason presence stems from wanting to get up to speed with the team's new offense under coordinator Tim Kelly. Per Wyatt, Henry, who logged 349 carries in 16 games in 2022, "looks to be in great shape" at this stage of the offseason, while also looking "smooth running and catching the ball." As the coming season approaches, Henry is poised to maintain his high-volume role in Tennessee's offense, while 2023 third-round pick Tyjae Spears and 2022…read more

Tops 100 yards in loss

Henry rushed the ball 30 times for 109 yards in Saturday's 20-16 loss to the Jaguars. He added one reception for 19 yards.

Analysis: As expected, Henry was the focal point of the Tennessee offense, and he tallied his highest carry total since Week 8. He wasn't particularly efficient, but he helped the Titans maintain a lead for the majority of the game. Henry also topped 100 rushing yards for the fourth consecutive contest, which brought his yardage total on the campaign to 1,538. Also important for fantasy purposes, Henry racked up a career-high 33 receptions across 16 games. He'll return to Tennessee in 2023 and is likely…read more

Full practice Tuesday

Henry (hip) practiced fully Tuesday, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

Analysis: Prior to sitting out last Thursday versus the Cowboys, Henry managed two limited sessions due to hip injury. With a full practice under is belt to start Week 18 prep, he's now in line to reclaim his role as the Titans' unquestioned top running back ahead of Saturday's scheduled 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. For the season, that's amounted to 23.4 touches for 120.5 yards from scrimmage per game and 13 rushing TDs in 15 appearances.

Practicing Tuesday

Henry (hip) participated in practice Tuesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Henry was held out last Thursday against the Cowboys due to a hip issue that capped him to two limited sessions. As the Titans resume preparation for Saturday's scheduled 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, the running back was spotted working through drills with team trainers, according to Davenport. Ultimately, Henry's activity level will be revealed later Tuesday.

Inactive Thursday

Henry (hip) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Cowboys.

Analysis: Henry, who the Titans listed as a limited practice participant Tuesday and Wednesday, approached the contest listed as doubtful, so it's not a surprise that he'll sit this one out and focus on being ready for the team's AFC South title showdown against the Jaguars in Week 18. In his absence versus Dallas, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site relays that Hassan Haskins figures to get the bulk of Tennessee's backfield work Thursday, with Julius Chestnut mixing in. Additionally, Jonathan Ward is…read more

Not expected to play Thursday

Henry (hip), who is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, is not expected to suit up, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Henry is listed as doubtful despite coming off back-to-back limited practices, and it appears that Hassan Haskins and Julius Chestnut will be tasked with leading Tennessee's backfield versus Dallas' stout defensive front. The outcome of Thursday's contest won't impact the Titans' chances of attaining the AFC South crown, so Henry's focus may well simply be making sure he's at 100 percent form for Week 18's pivotal divisional matchup against the Jaguars. Official word on Henry's status will come…read more

Doubtful for Thursday's game

Henry (hip) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Given Henry's designation, look for Hassan Haskins and Julius Chestnut to see added snaps out of the backfield snaps versus Dallas, while Jonathan Ward is a candidate to be elevated from the team's practice squad to provide additional depth. Assuming Henry is inactive this week, the Titans' top back will turn his focus to preparing for the team's key divisional showdown with the Jaguars in Week 18, when the AFC South champion will be decided.

Turns in limited practice

The Titans listed Henry (hip) as a limited participant at Tuesday's practice.

Analysis: Though Henry is nursing what's believed to be a minor hip issue coming out of Saturday's 19-14 loss to the Texans, the running back suggested Tuesday that he thinks he'll be available for Thursday's game against the Cowboys. More specifically, Henry told Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site, that "whatever I got to do, whatever coach needs me to do, I'm ready to do," when asked about his chances of playing Week 17. While head coach Mike Vrabel hasn't indicated that he plans to hold Henry out…read more

DNP on practice estimate

Henry (hip) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: The Titans held a walkthrough Monday, but Henry's appearance on the team's first injury report of the week due to a listed hip issue nonetheless makes the running back's status worth monitoring as Thursday night's game against the Cowboys approaches. In this past Saturday's 19-14 loss to the Texans, Henry logged a 74 percent snap share en route to carrying 23 times for 126 yards and a touchdown, while top backup Hassan Haskins was out there for 15 snaps, catching both of his targets for 17…read more

Tops 100 yards, loses key fumble

Henry rushed the ball 23 times for 126 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 19-14 loss to the Texans. He also recorded two receptions for zero yards.

Analysis: Henry entered the game having rushed for more than 200 yards in each of his last four games against the Texans. He appeared to be in line for a fifth consecutive massive performance when he ripped off a 48-yard touchdown run midway through the first quarter. However, he managed only two additional runs of more than 10 yards for the rest of the game, which led to a strong but unspectacular performance. Henry also lost a fumble early in the fourth quarter, which led to a field goal for Houston.…read more

Tops century mark in loss

Henry carried the ball 21 times for 104 yards and a touchdown and caught all four of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Chargers.

Analysis: The running back led the Titans in both rushing yards and receiving yards but didn't get much help from the rest of his offense. Henry racked up his second straight 100-yard game and his seventh of the season, but he continues to look up at the Raiders' Josh Jacobs for the NFL rushing crown. However, Henry could close the gap significantly in Week 16 against a Texans defense he's torched for more than 200 rushing yards each of the last four times he's faced it.

Excels in loss

Henry rushed the ball 17 times for 121 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Jaguars. He added three receptions on five targets for 34 yards.

Analysis: Henry looked to be taking over the game early, as he managed 82 rushing yards and a touchdown through the Titans' first three drives. Needless to say, he slowed considerably from there and also had a key fumble late in the second quarter that arguably changed the trajectory of the game. Despite that crucial mistake, Henry managed his first 100-yard rushing performance since Week 9 and his first rushing score since Week 11.

Limited by game script

Henry rushed the ball 11 times for 30 yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Eagles. He added two receptions for eight yards.

Analysis: Henry saw seven of his 11 rushes in the first half, as the Titans were down multiple scores for the entirety of the last two quarters. He was limited to a season low in carries as a result and was held to under 40 rushing yards for the second consecutive game. Henry has also failed to reach the end zone in three of his last four contests, which, combined with his lack of involvement as a pass catcher, has highlighted his relatively fragile floor.

Contained in Week 12 loss

Henry rushed 17 times for 38 yards and caught all three of his targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: Keeping Henry in check on the ground was key to Cincinnati's success in this one, as the star running back mustered his lowest rushing yardage total since Week 2. He made up for the lackluster rushing game by leading the Titans in receiving yards. Most of Henry's yardage came on a 69-catch in the second quarter. He actually fumbled at the end of the play, but teammate Treylon Burks recovered it in the end zone for the game's first touchdown. Up next for Henry and the Titans will be a Week 13…read more

Hefty workload in win

Henry rushed 28 times for 87 yards and a touchdown, brought in both targets for 45 yards and completed two pass attempts for four yards and a touchdown in the Titans' 27-17 win over the Packers on Thursday night.

Analysis: Dontrell Hilliard was the only other back to register a carry for the Titans on the night, and he logged exactly one rush attempt. That equated to a particularly busy night for Henry, who'd logged just a combined 36 carries in the previous pair of games. Henry also made impressive contributions through the air as both a passer and receiver, throwing a three-yard jump touchdown pass to Austin Hooper just past the halfway point of the third quarter and recording a 42-yard reception as well. Henry…read more

Held to 67 total yards

Henry rushed the ball 19 times for 53 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Broncos. He added two receptions on three targets for 14 yards.

Analysis: As has been the case all season, Henry remained the focal point of the Tennessee offense. However, he was held under 80 rushing yards for only the second time, and he failed to reach 20 carries for only the third time on the campaign. While typically very efficient, Henry averaged only 2.8 yards per carry and managed only one rush that went for 10 yards or more. While Henry was shut down in a tough matchup Sunday, he should be in a great position to produce in a Week 11 matchup against a soft…read more

Two more scores in monster game

Henry rushed 17 times for 115 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Chiefs.

Analysis: Henry was not targeted in the passing game, but fantasy managers won't complain after another huge multi-score performance on the ground. The bruising back continues to thrive despite the Titans having no passing game (they totaled 53 passing yards Sunday) to help alleviate the opposition's defensive focus. The 28-year-old boasts a robust 183/870/9 rushing line through eight games, making the premature worries about his slow start to the season feel like a distant memory. Henry will lead the…read more

Clear for Week 9

Henry (rest) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Kansas City, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Henry kicked off the week with limited on-field work Wednesday due to a foot issue, while his absence one day later was related to rest. After a full practice Friday, though, the Titans' top running back is good to go for Week 9 action. Henry could find the going tough versus the Chiefs' third-ranked run defense (92 yards per game).

Gets a rest day Thursday

Henry's absence from practice Thursday was rest-related, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Henry was listed as a limited participant Wednesday due to a foot issue, but Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site previously relayed that the running back indicated Thursday that his "foot is fine" and that he'd "be out there on Sunday playing" against Kansas City. Assuming no setbacks, look for Henry to head into the weekend minus a Week 9 injury designation.

Not spotted at practice

Henry (foot) was among the players not spotted during the open portion of Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: We'll circle back to relay the running back's official participation level Thursday, but it's worth noting that after being limited Wednesday, Henry downplayed his current listed injury issue, indicating that his foot is "fine" as Sunday's game against the Chiefs approaches.

Logs limited practice

Henry was limited at practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: In this past weekend's 17-10 win over the Texans, Henry was on the field for 43 snaps on offense while carrying the ball 32 times for 219 yards and two touchdowns and catching his only target for nine yards. With no reported injuries in the contest, it's possible that Henry's listed limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related. That said, given that a foot injury derailed the running back's 2021 campaign, his status is now worth tracking ahead of Sunday's game against Kansas City.

Historic performance against Texans

Henry carried the ball 32 times for 219 yards and two touchdowns and caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Texans.

Analysis: No running back in NFL history has dominated a team the way Henry has dominated Houston. In each of Tennessee's last four meetings with its AFC South rivals, the 28-year-old power back has run for at least 200 yards, and he's the first RB in history to run for 150-plus yards and two TDs in four straight games against the same opponent. Henry also became the third back in league history to have six career 200-yard rushing performances, joining O.J. Simpson and Adrian Peterson in a very exclusive…read more

Another solid rushing performance

Henry rushed the ball 30 times for 128 yards in Sunday's 19-10 win over the Colts. He added three receptions for 10 yards.

Analysis: The Titans followed a familiar game script, as they took a lead against the Colts and used Henry to run out the clock in the final two quarters. As a result, he reached the 30-carry threshold for the first time this season and surpassed 100 yards for the third consecutive game. Also of note was Henry's ability to pick up chunk gains, as his longest rushes of the day went for 23 and 21 yards -- doubling his number of carries that have gone for 20 or more yards on the season.

Scores twice, tops 100 yards

Henry rushed the ball 28 times for 102 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Commanders. He added two receptions for 30 yards.

Analysis: As usual, Henry was the driving force behind the Tennessee offense, accounting for two of the team's three touchdowns. Both came on one-yard rushes, but he also had two carries that went for more than 10 yards while adding a 24-yard reception. Henry now has three consecutive games with over 100 total yards and at least one touchdown.

Racks up another 147 yards

Henry carried the ball 22 times for 114 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts. He added three receptions for 33 yards.

Analysis: Henry had a tremendous first half, posting 99 rushing yards on 14 carries. The highlight came on a 19-yard rushing touchdown, but he also chipped in three carries that went for more than 10 yards. While his production slowed in the second half, Henry topped 100 rushing yards for the first time this season. Notably, he also has eight receptions combined across his last two games.

Tallies 143 total yards

Henry rushed the ball 20 times for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Raiders. He added five receptions on six targets for 58 yards.

Analysis: Henry did the majority of his damage early, as he tallied 106 total yards prior to halftime and also plunged in for a one-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. Though he was bottled up in the second half, Henry's performance was encouraging as he topped 100 scrimmage yards for the first time this season. Perhaps most notable of all was Henry's involvement as a receiver, a skill he showcased early in the 2021 season prior to going down with a foot injury. After a slow start to the…read more

Quiet night besides early TD

Henry rushed 13 times for 25 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 41-7 loss to the Bills.

Analysis: Henry rumbled in for a two-yard touchdown on fourth down to cap Tennessee's first drive but was bottled up for the rest of the night as the Titans were outplayed in every facet of the game. Through two games, Henry has averaged just 3.1 yards per carry, as opponents are stacking the box and Tennessee's passing game is failing to make them pay. Henry should find more running room in Week 3 against the Raiders, but the Titans' inability to replace A.J. Brown's production through the air has…read more

Tops 80 yards in Sunday's loss

Henry carried the ball 21 times for 82 yards in Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Giants. He failed to catch his only target.

Analysis: The game mostly went according to script for Henry, who softened up the defense in the first half before beginning to see some bigger gains later in the afternoon, but his longest run went for only 18 yards and and he didn't get into the end zone. The bruising back may have proved he's all the way back from last year's foot injury, but he'll likely need to be more productive in a Monday night clash with the explosive Bills in Week 2.

Contract re-worked

The Titans have reportedly re-worked Henry's contract to give the running back a $2 million raise this coming season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network notes.

Analysis: Per the report, Henry is now slated to earn $14 million this coming season, while 2023 remains the final year of his contract with the Titans. As Week 1 approaches, the 28-year-old -- who is bouncing back from a foot injury that limited him to eight regular-season games in 2021 -- is firmly entrenched as the Titans' lead back. In that capacity, Henry is in line to log a steady workload this coming season, barring any injury setbacks, with Dontrell Hilliard, Hassan Haskins and Julius Chestnut on…read more

Preseason action unlikely

Coach Mike Vrabel doesn't anticipate Henry participating in any preseason games, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: That's not much of a surprise, with Henry bouncing back from a foot injury that limited him to eight regular-season games in 2021 and firmly entrenched as the Titans' lead back. On the plus side, the 28-year-old has indicated that he's past his foot issue, but there's little incentive for the team's coaching staff to expose Henry to unnecessary injury risk ahead of Week 1. Meanwhile, with D'Onta Foreman having signed with the Panthers this offseason, Hassan Haskins and Dontrell Hilliard are…read more

Top backup TBD

With D'Onta Foreman having signed with the Panthers, Hassan Haskins and Dontrell Hilliard are in line to compete for RB touches behind Henry, who remains the Titans' clear-cut top back, Mike Moraitis of USA Today reports.

Analysis: When healthy, Henry -- who was limited to eight regular season games in 2021 -- is destined to see the bulk of Tennessee's carries, a context that probably won't lead to regular volume for his backups. That said, if the Titans are inclined to lessen his workload at all, or if the 28-year-old (who has indicated that he's past his right foot issue) misses time for any reason, Henry's understudies would see an uptick in fantasy value. Unless the team adds another back in advance of Week 1, Haskins…read more

Held in check

Henry (foot) rushed the ball 20 times for 62 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 19-16 divisional-round loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: Henry was active for the first time since Week 8, and he immediately returned to play a central role in the Titans' offense. However, he was largely held in check by Cincinnati, as his longest rush went for only nine yards and he averaged only 3.1 yards per carry. He did manage to tally the first touchdown of the game, plunging into the end zone from three yards away midway through the second quarter. While Henry may have experienced limited explosiveness in his return from a lengthy absence,…read more

Set to face Bengals

Henry (foot), who was activated from IR on Friday, is expected to start Saturday's playoff game against the Bengals, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Analysis: The report notes that the running back, who is bouncing back from surgery that involved having a steel plate inserted into his foot, is also on track to play Saturday with a protective metal plate (described as a modified orthotic) in his shoe. Though Henry, who hasn't seen game action since Oct. 31, isn't expected to be on a snap count in his return to action per Rapoport, he will be monitored by the team, presumably with game flow and how he does with his carries early on likely to dictate…read more

Activated from injured reserve

Henry (foot) has been activated from IR ahead of Saturday's playoff game against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: The move sets the stage for Henry -- who last suited up Oct. 31 -- to return for Saturday's divisional-round contest versus Cincinnati. Considering the lengthy layoff, it remains to be seen how much work Henry will log, but ESPN's Turron Davenport indicated that the star back -- who practiced this past week without any setbacks -- is expected to start when Tennessee's offense takes the field. Game flow and how Henry fares with his carries early on figure to dictate his workload, with D'Onta…read more

Expected to come off IR

The Titans plan to activate Henry (foot) from IR in advance of Saturday's divisional-round playoff game against the Bengals, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.

Analysis: A transaction to confirm such an outcome is slated to arrive later Friday. Per Davenport, Henry is expected to start when Tennessee's offense takes the field Saturday, though it's unclear how much he'll play in his first game action since Week 8 remains to be seen. With that in mind, it's plausible that D'Onta Foreman and Dontrell Hilliard -- who have been filling in for Henry of late -- will continue to be involved in the team's ground game versus Cincinnati as Henry works his way back into…read more

Increasing practice workload

Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said Thursday that Henry (foot) has been taking more reps in each successive practice since the Titans designated him for return from injured reserve Jan. 5, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Analysis: Vrabel wouldn't tip his hand regarding if Henry will be available for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Bengals, as the Titans plan to reassess the running back Friday before deciding on his status. In order for Henry to be eligible to play this weekend, Tennessee will have to activate him from IR no later than 4 p.m. ET on Friday, so clarity on his availability (or lack thereof) should arrive by that point. If the Titans elect to hold Henry out for their postseason opener, D'Onta…read more

Takes contact without setbacks

Henry (foot) responded well to contact Tuesday and will now continue practicing throughout the rest of the week, with the Titans likely waiting until Friday to decide on his availability for Saturday's divisional-round game against Cincinnati, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: The fact that the Titans made Henry available to speak to the media Wednesday might be taken as another sign he's headed in the right direction, especially after the running back said that his surgically repaired foot didn't feel any different than it did pre-injury, despite him having a steel plate inserted a couple months ago, per Davenport. Henry will still need to make it through a couple more practices without setbacks, and he may not quite be in peak condition after the long layoff, but…read more

Practicing, taking contact

Henry (foot) is practicing Tuesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: He's in pads, taking contact and appears to be running full speed, but that doesn't necessarily make him a lock for Saturday's game against Cincinnati, with coach Mike Vrabel cautioning earlier Tuesday that the Titans would need to see Henry practice throughout the week before making a decision. Given that he's still on IR, albeit with a designation to return, Henry won't be listed on the daily practice reports. He last played Week 8, shortly before undergoing foot surgery at the start of…read more

Not activated for Week 18

Henry (foot) remains on IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: With Henry -- who last suited up in Week 8 -- not moved to the active roster Saturday, the star running back will target a potential return to the lineup in the Titans' postseason opener. In his continued absence, D'Onta Foreman and Dontrell Hilliard will head the team's rushing attack in Week 18, with Jordan Wilkins on hand in reserve.

Decision pending for Sunday

The Titans have until 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday to activate Henry (foot) from injured reserve and make him available for Sunday's game at Houston, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Henry has been on the reserve list since breaking a bone in his right foot on Oct. 31 that required surgery. The Titans designated the running back for return from IR only Wednesday, opening a 21-day window to evaluate him at practice. Speaking to the media Friday, coach Mike Vrabel said the team has "some time to make that decision," but after back-to-back sessions at their indoor facility, they'll "see where he is at" Saturday to get a sense of where Henry stands in his recovery. Before Henry…read more

Cleared for practice

Tennessee designated Henry (foot) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Dianna Russini of ESPN reported Tuesday that Henry was expected to make his long-awaited return to practice Wednesday, and the transaction now makes the matter official. The Titans now have a 21-day window to evaluate Henry's health in practice while not having him count toward the 53-man roster until he's officially activated from IR. Henry hasn't played since Oct. 31, when he suffered a broken bone in his right foot in a win over the Colts that required surgery days later. According to…read more

Set to resume practicing Wednesday

Henry (foot) is expected to participate in practice Wednesday, though he's viewed as a "long shot" to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale in Houston, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Before Henry is eligible to mix into drills with his healthy teammates, the Titans must first designate him to return from IR, a transaction that will open a 21-day window for the team to evaluate him for a spot on the 53-man roster. Henry's impending return to practice was foreshadowed Monday, when he took part in individual drills after he was previously seen jogging around in cleats a week before. Given that he hasn't played since late October after fracturing a bone in his right foot and…read more

Participating in individual drills

Henry (foot) will participate in individual drills Monday, Joe Rexrode of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Henry underwent surgery to address a broken fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot at the beginning of November. Coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that the team doesn't have plans for Henry to suit up for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Texans, but the team will decide sometime this week whether to designate the running back to return from injured reserve. Although it doesn't appear as though the 27-year-old will be able to return during the regular season, he'll likely have a chance to do so…read more

Could be back Week 18

The Titans anticipate Henry (foot) will ready to return from injured reserve as early as the team's Week 18 matchup with the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Henry has been sidelined since undergoing surgery Nov. 1 to address a broken fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot after he picked up the injury a day earlier in the Titans' Week 8 win over the Colts. Initial estimates followed surgery placed Henry's recovery time at 6-to-10 weeks, and though Rapoport reports that rehab has gone well over the past month and a half, the reigning NFL rushing champion still looks to be trending toward the longer end of that timeline. Tennessee has gone 2-2 in…read more

Early January return possible

The Titans have optimism that Henry could return from injured reserve in early January if all goes well in his recovery from right foot surgery, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The Titans play Jan. 2 in Week 17 and close out their regular-season schedule a week later, so counting on the star running back to make a splash during the fantasy playoffs remains a speculative proposition. However, with Tennessee heading into Week 11 with an 8-2 record, this news is relevant to the team's postseason prospects. For now, Henry remains on IR, with D'Onta Foreman, Adrian Peterson and Jeremy McNichols (concussion) headlining the backfield in the meantime.

May not return this season

The Titans remain hopeful that Henry (foot) can play again at some point in 2021, though a source familiar with the situation believes it "would be very surprising if [the running back] made it back this season," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Regardless, Henry is out indefinitely, and in his absence, the Titans will proceed with a backfield committee that currently includes Adrian Peterson, Jeremy McNichols and D'Onta Foreman. Henry injured his right foot last Sunday against the Colts, was placed on injured reserve Monday and underwent surgery Tuesday.

Officially on IR

Henry (foot) has been placed on IR by the Titans, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: This was an expected move, with Wyatt having previously noted that the running back is slated to undergo foot surgery Tuesday. Though coach Mike Vrabel didn't offer a timetable for Henry's recovery, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network has suggested that Henry is expected to miss 6-10 weeks. In the meantime, Jeremy McNichols, Dontrell Hilliard and practice-squad member Mekhi Sargent are internal options to see added backfield work, while veteran RB Adrian Peterson reportedly is in line to be added to…read more

Expected to miss 6-to-10 weeks

Henry, who is scheduled to undergo surgery Tuesday on his fractured right foot, is expected to be out 6-to-10 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site, head coach Mike Vrabel declined to put an official timeline on Henry's recovery, though it's safe to say that the star running back is out indefinitely. The estimate put forth by Rapoport indicates that Henry has a chance to return before the end of the season, but for now, Tennessee will need to find a way to fill the void created by the looming absence of one of the NFL's leading MVP candidates. Jeremy McNichols and Dontrell Hilliard currently are…read more

Slated for surgery

Henry (foot) will undergo surgery Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Henry broke his fifth metatarsal bone during Sunday's overtime win over the Colts. While coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that the 27-year-old doesn't yet have a timetable for his return, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the running back could miss the remainder of the season. Jeremy McNichols is in line for an expanded role in Henry's absence, while the Titans reportedly will host Adrian Peterson for a tryout this week.

Reportedly has broken bone in foot

Henry (foot) broke his fifth metatarsal bone during Sunday's 34-31 overtime win over the Colts, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.

Analysis: The Titans are still waiting on the results of an MRI to verify the severity of Henry's injury, but Adam Schefter of ESPN suggests that the damage could potentially be season-ending. As Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports, Henry actually managed to return to Sunday's contest after suffering the injury, ultimately taking 28 carries for just 68 yards, but after the game he had to be carted around in the stadium. Behind Henry, Jeremy McNichols has handled the No. 2 gig and a passing-down role for…read more

Foot injury may be severe

Henry suffered a potentially serious foot injury in Sunday's game and is scheduled for an MRI on Monday to determine the full extent of the damage, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Henry took 28 carries for 68 yards in a 34-31 overtime win over the Colts, but Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports that the running back was carted around inside the stadium after the game. Schefter's report refers to the foot injury as "potentially season-ending", albeit with the disclaimer that an MRI is still needed for a proper diagnosis. Jeremy McNichols has operated as Henry's backup and passing-down replacement this year, while 2020 third-round pick Darrynton Evans (knee) is out for the…read more

Rare dud in overtime win

Henry rushed rushed 28 times for just 68 yards and did not receive a target in Sunday's 34-31 overtime win over the Colts.

Analysis: Henry couldn't get anything rolling against the Colts, which helps explain how Tennessee fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter. The bruising back did appear to get some medical attention on his right foot towards the end of the second half, but he promptly returned to the field and there were no reports of an injury after the game, so his managers appeared to have dodged a dangerous bullet. Henry will look to get back on track in a showdown against the Rams next Sunday.

Slowed in win

Henry recorded 29 rushes for 86 yards in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Chiefs. He added two receptions for 16 yards and also threw a five-yard touchdown.

Analysis: Henry was in a surprisingly beneficial game script, but he couldn't record his sixth consecutive effort of over 100 rushing yards. He was limited to only two gains of more than 10 yards and averaged only 3.0 yards per carry. Henry did manage the first passing touchdown of his career when he lobbed a pass into the back of the end zone to MyCole Pruitt to salvage his performance. Despite a down effort, Henry should be in line for another heavy workload in a Week 8 matchup against the Colts.

Beast in Monday night's win

Henry rushed 20 times for 143 yards and three touchdowns in Monday night's 34-31 win over the Bills. He also caught two of three targets for 13 yards.

Analysis: Henry exploded 76 yards up the middle for the first touchdown of the game in the second quarter, then powered in a pair of red-zone rushing scores in the second half, including the game-winner with just over three minutes remaining. In doing so, Henry found the end zone three times for the second straight game, and he's now remarkably accomplished that feat three times through six contests this season. With five consecutive outings of at least 110 yards on the ground as well, Henry is off to a…read more

Three-touchdown effort

Henry ran for 130 yards and three touchdowns on 29 carries against Jacksonville on Sunday.

Analysis: Henry didn't get any chances as a pass catcher due to Tennessee throwing just 21 targeted passes, but his fantasy investors will always accept that tradeoff if it comes with 31 fantasy points on the ground alone. This game marks the fourth in row in which Henry breezed past triple-digit yardage on the ground, and there's a chance he gets more pass-catching opportunities when the Titans take on the Bills in Week 6.

Posts 177 total yards

Henry recorded 33 rushes for 157 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Jets. He added two receptions for 20 yards.

Analysis: Henry topped 35 total touches for the second time in four games this season, aided by both overtime and the lack of a an efficient passing attack for the Titans. He ripped off big gains both as a rusher and receiver, logging three rushes and one reception of more than 15 yards. Henry also scored his fourth touchdown of the season, plowing his way into the end zone early in the fourth quarter from one yard out. On the campaign, Henry has topped 100 rushing yards in three consecutive games and…read more

Another 30-touch victory

Henry rushed 28 times for 113 yards and caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 25-16 win over the Colts. He also ran in a two-point conversion.

Analysis: Henry picked up where he left off in the second half of last Sunday's win, garnering 10 touches in the first quarter alone. With the workhorse remaining his physical, productive self, Henry again got the ball over 30 times, helping Tennessee's offense compensate for the early exit of top wideout A.J. Brown (hamstring). Although Henry only found the end zone on his two-point conversion, he nonetheless was the focal point of a second straight victory, and next Sunday's matchup against the Jets…read more

Rumbles over Seahawks

Henry carried the ball 35 times for 182 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Seahawks. He added six receptions for 55 yards.

Analysis: Henry appeared to be in for another disappointing game to open the season as he had only 35 yards on 13 carries through two quarters. However, he keyed a comeback effort for the Titans in the second half by finding the end zone from 60, nine and one yards away. While hardly the highlight of his box score, Henry also tied for the team lead in receptions. His work in the passing game has always been a shortcoming, so it would be a significant boost to his fantasy value if he can maintain this…read more

Sluggish start to season

Henry ran for 58 yards on 17 carries while catching three receptions for 19 yards on four targets against Arizona on Sunday.

Analysis: Henry couldn't find any room to run in a 38-13 loss where the Tennessee offense completely imploded. Perhaps it's more a credit to the Cardinals defense than a sign of concern for the Titans, but it was still a dud showing in what should have been a favorable, high-scoring scenario. It wasn't just Henry -- Ryan Tannehill and the Tennessee passing game couldn't get started either. They have the talent to bounce back with a vengeance going forward, but a Week 2 road matchup with Seattle won't…read more

No preseason action

Henry didn't play in Saturday's preseason loss to the Bears, according to Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com.

Analysis: Henry emerged from exhibition season with no snaps on his odometer as he readies for yet another massive workload in the coming campaign. Over the last two years, he's totaled 718 touches in 31 appearances en route to 3,887 yards from scrimmage and 35 touchdowns.

Chance to play in preseason Week 3

Henry may see snaps during Saturday's preseason finale against the Bears, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Coach Mike Vrabel said during Sunday's media availability that the Titans will move from the varied training camp schedule to a more rigid regular-season one, in essence to get a test run before Week 1. That could mean the likes of Henry, A.J. Brown and Ryan Tannehill get in-game reps before the regular season, but Vrabel might not make his decision known until closer to Saturday's 7:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Not expected to play Saturday

Henry is suited up but is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against Tampa Bay, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Henry of course has nothing to prove, so the Titans would be served better by handing reps to his backup candidates than Henry himself. Brian Hill, Jeremy McNichols and Mekhi Sargent are fighting for the spot behind Henry and Darrynton Evans (knee).

Gives way to Evans on Friday

Jim Wyatt of the Titans official site suggests that the team "won't add any wear and tear" on Henry's body in Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons.

Analysis: Given the amount of carries Henry has racked up over the last couple of seasons, it makes sense to limit his exposure to contact in exhibition games. With Henry likely to see little to no action Friday, Darrynton Evans is in line to draw the the start at running back versus Atlanta, while Brian Hill, Jeremy McNichols and Mekhi Sargent are all candidates to get touches as the contest progresses.

Set up for success in Tennessee

Henry should have a strong offensive line blocking for him this season, Ben Arthur of The Nashville Tennessean reports.

Analysis: Henry typically has run behind impressive O-lines in Tennessee, but the unit wasn't quite up to its usual standard last season, as left tackle Taylor Lewan suffered an ACL tear in October and first-round pick Isaiah Wilson played just four snaps. The Titans have since parted ways with Wilson and starting right tackle Dennis Kelly, but they acquired two potential replacements in veteran Kendall Lamm and rookie second-round pick Dillon Radunz. With Lewan on track for Week 1 and WR Julio Jones…read more

Bottled up by Ravens

Henry carried the ball 18 times for 40 yards in the team's wild-card round loss to the Ravens. He added three receptions for 11 yards.

Analysis: Henry ran over the Ravens in the team's divisional-round matchup last postseason, racking up 195 rushing yards. However, this season's contest was a different story, as Henry was limited to 51 total yards, with his longest gain of the day going for just eight yards. It was a sour close to the season after a dominant regular-season campaign for Henry during which he racked up over 2,000 yards on the ground. Henry will remain under contract with the Titans in 2021, giving him another chance to…read more

Reaches 2,000 yards

Henry carried the ball 34 times for 250 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-38 win over the Texans.

Analysis: With yet another massive performance against Houston, Henry became the eighth back in history to run for 2,000 yards in a season, with his 2,027 settling in as the fifth-highest mark ever. He also locked up his second straight rushing title in the process and set a new career high with 17 rushing TDs. Henry will remain the key to the Titans' offense as they prepare to host the Ravens next Sunday in the wild-card round.

98 yards in blowout loss

Henry rushed 23 times for 98 yards in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Packers. He was not targeted in the passing game.

Analysis: Henry was held in check by Green Bay's defense, which did not allow the league's leading rusher to break off one of his signature big rambles down the field. The fact that 98 yards and a 4.3 yards-per-carry mark is considered a "down game" is just a testament to how dominant the physically imposing back has been this season. In fact, Henry's managers should be pleased that the runner still received 23 carries in a blowout loss. That commitment to the run offers game script protection for Henry,…read more

Tops 150 total yards

Henry rushed the ball 24 times for 147 yards and a touchdown in Week 15 against the Lions. He added two receptions for five yards.

Analysis: The Titans offense moved up and down the field at will, and Henry played a big role in that effort as has come to be expected. He capped the team's first offensive possession with a three-yard touchdown plunge. From there, Henry continuously gained chunks of yardage, with 10 of his 24 rushing attempts going for more than five yards. Overall, he has topped 130 rushing yards on the ground in four of his list five contests. Henry will look to continue his tremendous production in Week 16 against…read more

Cleared to play

Henry (non-injury-related) doesn't carry a designation for Sunday's game against the Lions after practicing fully Friday,Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Analysis: Henry was added to the Titans' practice report Thursday after logging a limited session, but he faced no restrictions Friday. That paves the way for Henry to headline Tennessee's backfield this week versus a beatable Detroit run defense that has allowed an average of 132.8 rushing yards per game to date.

Limited Thursday

Henry was added to the Titans' practice/injury report after logging a limited session Thursday due to a non injury-related reason, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.

Analysis: While this could be something routine, given the uniqueness of the current season, it's worth checking back on Henry's status Friday to see if he approaches Sunday's game against the Lions with any degree of uncertainty regarding his Week 15 status.

Runs over Jaguars

Henry carried the ball 26 times for 215 yards and two touchdowns in Week 14 against the Jaguars. He added two receptions for seven yards.

Analysis: Henry bounced back from one of his worst performances of the season in Week 13 by topping 200 rushing yards for the second time on the campaign. He ripped off three rushes of more than 20 yards, including a game-long 47-yarder as well as a 36-yard touchdown. Henry also found the end zone from one yard away midway through the third quarter. He should be in line to continue his big close to the season, drawing matchups against Detroit, Green Bay and Houston.

Can't get going against Browns

Henry carried the ball 15 times for 60 yards in the team's Week 13 loss to the Browns. He added one reception for nine yards.

Analysis: Henry entered the game having logged three consecutive 100-yard efforts on the ground, but he was limited in his impact against the Browns. His ineffectiveness played a key role in the Titans' 38-7 deficit, as he was stuffed on a short fourth-down play on the team's first offensive possession and then lost a fumble on the following drive. Henry did get things going a bit in the second half, racking up several rushes of 10 and nine yards. Despite the disappointing effort, Henry should be in a…read more

Pummels Colts with three touchdowns

Henry carried the ball 27 times for 178 yards and three touchdowns in Week 12 against the Colts. He added two receptions for seven yards.

Analysis: Henry sliced through the Colts' run defense for the entire game, ripping off eight runs of ten or more yards. He also notched his fourth multi-touchdown effort of the campaign, logging rushing scores of 12, 11 and one yards. Henry continues to blend tremendous volume -- he's topped 20 carries in five of his last seven contests -- with efficiency and has remained one of the most consistent producers at the position as a result. He'll draw a matchup against the Browns in Week 13.

Beats Ravens with overtime score

Henry rushed the ball 28 times for 133 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Ravens. He added a reception for -1 yards.

Analysis: Henry relied on volume for the majority of his production, racking up 104 yards on his first 27 attempts of the game. However, he took his 28th carry of the game to the left side of the line before cutting across the middle of the field for a 29-yard game-winning touchdown. With the performance, Henry has surpassed 100 rushing yards for sixth time this season and third time in his last four contests. With workload always on his side, Henry will remain a top-end option even in another tough…read more

Eclipses 100-yard mark in loss

Henry rushed 19 times for 103 yards and brought in one of two targets for six yards in the Titans' 34-17 loss to the Colts on Thursday night.

Analysis: Henry's numbers were about the only bright spot for the Titans on a forgettable night overall, with the star running back posting his fifth 100-yard effort of the campaign. Henry appeared to have his shoulder lightly examined on the sideline at one point in the second half, but any time he missed appeared to simply be due to rest purposes. The Pro Bowl running back has now averaged over 5.0 yards per carry against the Colts' normally stingy defense the last three times he's faced Indianapolis…read more

Contained by Bears

Henry rushed the ball 21 times for 68 yards in Week 9 against the Bears.

Analysis: Henry saw his normal allotment of carries but was held in check by the stout Bears' run defense. He did rip off a 26-yard run that ultimately led to a two-yard touchdown for Jonnu Smith. Aside from the carry, Henry managed to gain only 46 yards on 20 carries and was also shut out in the passing game for the third time this season. Henry is in the midst of a splendid season, but he'll seek a bounce-back performance in Week 10 against the Colts in another tough matchup.

Gashes Bengals in loss

Henry carried 18 times for 112 yards and a touchdown while failing to haul in his only target in Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: Henry gashed the Cincinnati front for 6.2 yards per carry while recording a long gain of 21 yards. He scored a three-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter, giving him eight touchdowns over his last five games after failing to score in his first two. Henry is also averaging 115 yards per game during that span and the only real weakness in his game comes as a pass catcher, with just seven receptions for 66 yards. With that said, he should be a strong fantasy option again next Sunday…read more

Scores in Week 7 effort

Henry carried the ball 20 times for 75 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the Steelers. He also added two receptions for -3 yards.

Analysis: Henry was bottled up for large portions of the game by the stingy Steelers' run defense. Even so, he managed to break free for big yardage on a few carries, including gains of 17 and nine yards in the fourth quarter. Most importantly, he also found the end zone for the fourth consecutive game and now has seven touchdowns on the campaign. Henry will draw a more manageable matchup against the Bengals in Week 8 one that should afford him the chance to top 100 yards on the ground once again.

Tops 200 yards, wins it in OT

Henry rushed 22 times for 212 yards and two touchdowns while catching two of five targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 42-36 overtime win over Houston.

Analysis: Henry took a back seat to quarterback Ryan Tannehill in the first half, as Tannehill accounted for all 21 of Tennessee's first-half points with a trio of touchdown passes. It was all Henry after the break, though, as he rumbled for a 94-yard touchdown to retake the lead early in the fourth quarter and won the game with a five-yard touchdown in overtime. The superstar running back has scored multiple rushing touchdowns in three consecutive games, and Henry's averaging 117.6 yards per game on the…read more

Two TDs in Tuesday's win

Henry registered 57 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries, adding a six-yard catch during Tuesday's 42-16 win against the Bills.

Analysis: The 2019 NFL rushing champion was rather inefficient in posting a 3.0 yards-per-carry average against Buffalo's top-10 rush defense, but he did cash in with second and fourth-quarter touchdowns to help lift Tennessee to its first 4-0 start since 2008. Buffalo made things interesting with a 22-yard TD pass from Josh Allen to T.J. Yeldon with 10 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, but Henry's nine-yard TD run with 3:57 remaining reverted the Titans' lead to three possessions on the subsequent…read more

Week 5 game still scheduled

Tuesday's scheduled contest between Henry and the Titans and the Bills is on track to proceed as planned, barring further developments, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: That said, the status of the slated 7:00 ET kickoff should still be monitored by fantasy managers, with Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com noting that "another positive (COVID-19 test Monday) would likely throw things into limbo." The Titans' Week 4 game against the Steelers was moved to Week 7 after multiple members of the Tennessee organization tested positive for COVID-19.

Week 4 matchup postponed

Henry and the Titans will not be taking on the Steelers in Week 4 after additional personnel within the organization have tested positive for COVID-19, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: The initial plan was simply to reschedule the Oct. 4 matchup for Monday or Tuesday, but it now appears both teams will receive a Week 4 bye and the game will be rescheduled at a yet-to-be-determined date. Practice facilities will be closed in Tennessee until further notice after an additional player and personnel member returned positive tests, with a re-open unlikely until the outbreak has been contained.

Finds end zone twice

Henry carried the ball 26 times for 119 yards and two touchdowns in the team's Week 3 win over the Vikings. He added two receptions for 11 yards.

Analysis: Henry topped 100 yards for the second time in his first three games. However, he managed to find the end zone for the first time, punching in a pair of one-yard scores to play a major role in the Titans' narrow victory. While it's no surprise Henry has dominated rushing work out of the team's backfield, he also has five receptions early on this season and has recorded multiple receptions on two occasions. Though that doesn't place him among the elite pass-catching running backs in the league,…read more

Held in check by Jags

Henry ran for 84 yards on 25 rush attempts during Sunday's 33-30 win against the Jaguars. He was also targeted twice in the passing game but recorded zero receptions.

Analysis: The Jacksonville defense stepped up against the NFL's leading rusher from 2019, containing Henry to a meager 3.4 yards per rush after he accumulated an absurd 7.0 yards per carry in his four preceding outings against the Jaguars. Combining Sunday's results with Henry's Week 1 performance (3.7 YPC), the 2019 Pro Bowler is off to an inefficient start to 2020, though he is still benefitting from a gargantuan workload. The 26-year-old has already garnered 59 offensive touches through Tennessee's…read more

Breaks century mark on the ground

Henry ran for 116 yards on 31 carries while hauling in all three of his targets for 15 yards during Monday's 16-14 win against the Broncos.

Analysis: The 2019 NFL rushing champion did not have his most efficient showing on the ground Monday night, grinding his way to 3.7 yards per carry on a massive workload, but he did pick up five first-down gains during the contest. His pass-catching upside was higher than usual in the opener, as Henry's three receptions tied his season high from 18 regular-season and playoff games during 2019. Coming up in Week 2, Henry will face a Jaguars defense against which he accumulated 203 rushing yards and three…read more

Keeps refining receiving ability

Henry continues to focus on getting better as a receiver, Erik Bacharach of the Tennessean reports.

Analysis: Henry was spotted working with running backs coach Tony Dews during practice Tuesday, trying to improve his ability to catch passes while on the run. Henry has never caught more than 18 passes in a season, but it has been pointed out on a few occasions during training camp that he is focused on improving that aspect of his game. The departure of Dion Lewis could mean that Henry remains on the field for all three downs more than in past seasons, though rookie Darrynton Evans could also see…read more

Getting work in passing game

Henry has caught the ball well early in camp, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Henry has never recorded more than 18 receptions in a season, so the idea that he'll suddenly become a major factor in the passing game could just be camp chatter. On the other hand, the Titans lack experience in their backfield behind Henry, as rookie Darrynton Evans is currently projected to be the primary pass-catcher out of the backfield. If Henry, who already led the league with 303 carries last year, can increase his work as a receiver, he could challenge for the top spot in total touches.

Lands four-year deal

Henry agreed Wednesday with the Titans on a four-year deal worth $50 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Henry's new deal with Tennessee includes $25.5 million guaranteed and comes on the heels of the organization inking quarterback Ryan Tannehill to a long-term pact earlier this offseason. With that, Henry, who was the NFL's leading rusher in 2019 with 1,540 yards, will continue to head the Titans' backfield and remains a top option at his position in both real-life and fantasy terms. The Titans invested a third-round pick this spring into Darrynton Evans, who is slated to serve as a…read more

Nearing extension

The Titans and Henry are closing in on a long-term contract in advance of Wednesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: The 2019 rushing champ, Henry powered Tennessee to the AFC Championship Game back in January after racking up 1,540 yards and 16 touchdowns on the ground. He received the non-exclusive franchise tag in March, and while talks between his representation and the team ensued, he wasn't expected to get an extension as recently as Tuesday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. With an extension now on the precipice of being finalized, Henry may soon be locked up by the Titans for the foreseeable future.

Not getting long-term deal

Henry and the Titans aren't expected to reach a long-term agreement before Wednesday's extension deadline for franchise-tagged players, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Henry is scheduled to make $10.27 million in 2020 and then become a free agent next offseason. His decision to sign the franchise tender back in April means the Titans can fine him if he holds out, so it isn't clear if the running back is considering that option. The team could use a franchise tag again next offseason, with the number going up to around $12.32 million. It's possible Henry and the Titans could reach an agreement -- even if it's only verbal -- to avoid the tag next year.

Working toward contract

Titans GM Jon Robinson had a phone call with Henry's agent last week to discuss a new contract, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: The team's use of a franchise tag sets up a July 15 deadline for negotiations on a multi-year deal. Henry's decision to sign the franchise tender suggests he isn't planning a holdout, but there's no question he'll be annoyed if he ends up playing out the season under the tag. Robinson said Henry has been consistently engaged in the Titans' virtual offseason program, attending meetings and helping teammates. The 26-year-old running back has made it clear he prefers to stay with the Titans long…read more

Signs franchise tender

Henry signed his franchise-tag tender Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Henry's decision to sign the tender hints at confidence in working out a multi-year contract before the July 15 deadline, though Titans general manager Jon Robinson suggested Wednesday that the two parties will wait until summer to hammer out details. Any concern about a holdout can probably be put to rest, as there's no advantage to signing the tender if Henry would consider missing games in the absence of a long-term deal. Players that opted for the holdout route in past seasons declined to…read more

Waiting for contract negotiations

General manager Jon Robinson said Henry and the Titans will wait until summer to discuss a long-term contract, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.

Analysis: A previous report made it sound like negotiations were imminent, but it now appears the Titans will wait until after the draft and possibly longer. The team placed a franchise tag on Henry in mid-March, providing four months to discuss an extension before the July 15 deadline. If no deal is worked out by that time, Henry could decide to leave the tag unsigned and miss part or all of training camp without sacrificing any of his $10.3 million franchise-tag salary. Most players that choose the…read more

Discussing contract extension

General manager John Robinson said Wednesday that he wants to sign Henry to a long-term contract, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: The two sides have three and a half months remaining before the July 15 deadline for franchise-tagged players to sign extensions. Henry has made it clear he wants to stay in Tennessee, where his late-season 2018 breakout carried over to a massive campaign in 2019. Big contracts for running backs have mostly turned out disastrous in recent seasons, but Henry has the advantage of starting his pro career with lighter workloads in offenses that also featured DeMarco Murray in the backfield.

Receives non-exclusive tag

The Titans applied the non-exclusive franchise tag on Henry.

Analysis: As a result, the running back can receive offers from other teams, which the Titans would then have the opportunity to match. In a scenario in which Tennessee declines to match, the Titans would be due two first-round draft picks. With that in mind, both John Glennon of The Athletic and Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site deem it unlikely that another team will extend Henry an offer.

Gets franchise tag

The Titans have placed their franchise tag on Henry, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The team recently released change-of-pace back Dion Lewis, but the Titans have unsurprisingly decided to prioritize retaining the bruising Henry, who logged 303 carries for 1,540 yards and 16 TDs to go along with 18 catches for 206 yards and another two scores in 15 games last season. Henry is now slated to reprise his role as Tennessee's top back and will be taking handoffs from QB Ryan Tannehill, who the team has signed to a contract extension.

Eyeing Zeke's contract

Henry said last week on "The Rich Eisen Show" on Fox Sports Radio that Ezekiel Elliott's six-year, $90 million contract is "the floor" for what he'll be seeking this offseason.

Analysis: To be fair, Eisen asked a leading question and Henry merely agreed. There are a slew of teams with enough cap space to hand the 26-year-old a contract similar to Elliott's, but recent history mostly shows buyer's remorse with regard to long-term deals for running backs. Henry has one major advantage over Todd Gurley, Devonta Freeman and other positional counterparts: he averaged just 180 touches over his first three seasons before his count ballooned to 409 (including playoffs) in the final…read more

Held in check to close season

Henry carried the ball 19 times for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-24 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.

Analysis: Henry worked fairly effectively in the first half, racking up 62 yards on the ground while finding the end zone. However, he was largely scripted out of the second half gameplan as the Titans fell behind, receiving only three carries in the final two quarters. It was a disappointing conclusion to a tremendous postseason for Henry, who surpassed 200 total yards in the team's two victories. Now, Henry will turn his focus to inking a new contract as he enters the free-agent market for the first…read more

Tramples another elite defense

Henry rushed 30 times for 195 yards, threw a three-yard touchdown pass, and brought in both his targets for seven yards in the Titans' 28-12 divisional-round win over the Ravens on Saturday.

Analysis: The final rushing numbers encapsulate how dominant Henry was against yet another elite defensive unit, while his unlikely touchdown pass was a perfect combination of precisely timed playcalling by offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and flawless execution by Henry on a jump pass to Corey Davis. Henry now has at least 30 carries in three consecutive contests dating back to Week 17, a span during which he's accumulated a jaw-dropping 588 rushing yards and four scores on the ground in addition to…read more

Runs over Patriots

Henry carried the ball 34 times for 182 yards and a touchdown in the team's wild-card round win over New England. He added one reception for 22 yards.

Analysis: Henry was the dominant force behind the Titans' upset win, accounting for 204 total yards. He had a number of long rushes, but was particularly dominant on the team's final drive before halftime, ripping off runs of 29, 11 and nine yards while also recording his lone reception. He capped off that drive with a one-yard touchdown plunge to give the Titans a lead that they would never relinquish. Henry will look to continue his impressive form at Baltimore in the second round of the playoffs.

Wins rushing title

Henry recorded 32 carries for 211 yards and three touchdowns in the team's Week 17 win over the Texans.

Analysis: Henry concluded the regular season with a monstrous performance, surpassing 200 yards for the first time this season while also finding the end zone from three, one and 53 yards away. All told, he closed the campaign with 1,540 yards on the ground, good enough to win the NFL rushing title. Though his focus will be on the Titans' first round playoff matchup against New England, Henry will also be in line for a big payday this offseason as he is set to become a free agent. No matter where he…read more

Practicing fully

Henry (hamstring) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday.

Analysis: With that, Henry, who sat out Week 16's loss to New Orleans -- is poised to return to action Sunday against the Texans. If the Titans win their regular-season finale, they'll advance to the playoffs, so Henry -- who's hoping a week off will do him some good -- figures to see as much work as he can handle in Week 17.

Trending toward return

Henry (hamstring) was listed as full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Henry sat out the Titans' Week 16 loss to the Saints, but it looks like he'll return to action Sunday against the Texans. Another full practice Thursday when the Titans reconvene would solidify Henry's availability for the regular-season finale.

Sitting Sunday, likely back in Week 17

Henry (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: With Henry out, Dion Lewis is expected to head the Titans' Week 16 rushing attack, with Khari Blasingame and Dalyn Dawkins on hand to work in complementary roles. Fortunately for the Titans, Henry's absence isn't expected to extend beyond Sunday, as the team anticipates having their top back available for a crucial matchup with the Texans in Week 17, per Dan Graziano of ESPN.com.

Trending toward sitting Week 16

Henry (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, isn't expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Henry's likely absence was foreshadowed by the Titans' decision to downgrade him to questionable Saturday after he initially didn't carry an injury designation into the weekend following a full practice Friday. Evidently, Henry's lingering hamstring injury was still slowing him coming out of Friday's session, so he'll likely end up on the inactive list for the first time this season. With the NFL's second-leading rusher seemingly on track to sit out, Dion Lewis is expected to headline the…read more

Downgraded to questionable

Henry was downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints with a hamstring injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: This certainly isn't great news, made worse by the fact Dayln Dawkins was called up from the practice squad to act as a depth running back. Considering Henry, who has been dealing with a hamstring issue all week, initially didn't have an injury designation following Friday's practice, it's clear the powerful back has suffered some sort of setback, although the team did opt to rule him as questionable as opposed to something more serious. Still, fantasy owners will want to monitor his status…read more

Ready to roll Sunday

Henry (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Saints, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: In advance of each of the past four contests, the Titans have imposed some limitations on Henry's practice reps. This week, he followed an LP/DNP/FP regimen, leaving him free to take on a New Orleans defense that has allowed just 101 yards from scrimmage per game and 10 touchdowns to running backs in 14 outings this season.

Back at practice

Henry (hamstring) returned to practice Friday, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

Analysis: Henry, who was limited at practice Wednesday, sat out Thursday's session, but he's expressed no doubt that he'll be available Sunday against the Saints. We'll revisit his status once the Titans' final injury report is released to see if he's officially listed as questionable -- which seems likely -- or free of a Week 16 injury designation.

Not practicing Thursday

Henry (hamstring) isn't present for Thursday's practice and will go down as a non-participant on the Titans' injury report, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: While Henry's downgrade from limited participation Wednesday to no activity Thursday wouldn't seem to be a positive sign on the surface, he failed to practice in any fashion last week before gaining active status for Sunday's eventual loss to the Texans, during which he carried 21 times for 86 yards. Though he wasn't on the field Thursday, Henry told the media prior to the session that he has no intention of sitting out this weekend against the Saints, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official…read more

Logs limited practice Wednesday

Henry (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Henry didn't practice at all last week due to the injury before carrying 21 times for 86 yards in the Titans' Week 15 loss to the Texans. Based on the regimen he followed last week, the fact that he logged a limited session Wednesday is actually encouraging as the Titans begins their preparations for Sunday's contest against the Saints.

First scoreless outing since Week 8

Henry ran for 86 yards on 21 carries and was targeted once during Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Texans.

Analysis: The 247-pound bulldozer established a relatively efficient 4.1 yards-per-carry average Week 15 against divisional rival Houston, but his scoring rampage was put to an end by the Texans' No. 18 rush defense. Henry entered the contest with nine total touchdowns over his preceding five outings, but he was held out of the end zone Sunday despite garnering five red-zone carries. Given Henry's limited role in the passing game, a scoreless afternoon is especially detrimental to his fantasy upside.…read more

Cleared to play Sunday

Henry (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Analysis: Though Henry failed to practice in any capacity this week, all reports heading into Sunday suggested he would be ready to play once game day arrived. Henry's active status confirms as much, and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network relayed earlier Sunday that the running back isn't expected to have a "pitch count" in the crucial divisional matchup. Assuming Henry's workload isn't restricted, he should once again make for an elite fantasy option coming off four straight games of more than 100 rushing…read more

No 'pitch count' expected

Henry (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, is on track to play and isn't expected to have a planned "pitch count" for his snaps, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: The fact that Henry didn't practice in any fashion this week is somewhat unsettling, but Pelissero notes that the running back's lack of activity was mostly maintenance-related. The Titans will check on Henry early Sunday just to make sure his hamstring isn't an issue, but if he gets the green light from trainers, it looks like he'll enter Week 15 without any limitations. Henry has surpassed 100 yards on the ground in each of the past four games, totaling seven touchdowns over that span.

Likely suiting up Sunday

Henry (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday against the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The 25-year-old received the questionable tag after sitting out practice all week, but the hamstring issue never appeared to truly put his status in doubt for Week 15. Henry has received 18-plus carries in all three games since the Titans' Week 11 bye, and he figures to see a heavy workload again Sunday.

Questionable after missing practice

Henry (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after not practicing in any capacity this week, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

Analysis: Normally a full week with no practice would set the stage for an inactive status on game day. However, Henry who has been getting conditioning work on the treadmill, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN.com, noted Thursday that he'll be ready to go "when Sunday comes," per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site. While the running back's comments in recent days suggest that he plans to tough things out against Houston, those considering Henry in Week 15 fantasy lineups are strongly urged to…read more

Not spotted at practice Friday

Henry (hamstring) wasn't spotted at the open portion of Friday's practice, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

Analysis: Henry didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so his continued absence Friday is notable. There's a pretty good chance he'll be listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET contest against the Texans, though the running back previously stated that he plans to play through his hamstring issue, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site.

Misses practice, but says he's playing

Henry (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Normally back-to-back missed sessions would be alarming, but the running back isn't concerned about his Week 15 status. "I'll be ready to go," Henry noted Thursday. "When Sunday comes, I'll be ready to go." Either way, we'll circle back on Henry's status Friday to see if he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans or heads into the weekend minus an injury designation.

Doesn't practice Wednesday

Henry (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Henry also sat out the Titans' first practice of Week 14 before logged a limited session Thursday, followed by a full workout Friday. There's a solid chance that he'll follow that pattern again and enter Sunday's game against the Texans minus a designation, but fantasy managers will want to track his progression in any case. According to Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site, Henry noted earlier this week that he plans to play through the hamstring injury without any limits to his workload…read more

Plays through hamstring issue

Henry, who carried 18 times for 103 yards and two touchdowns and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Raiders, worked through a hamstring issue during the contest, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Henry sat out practice Wednesday and was limited Thursday, but missing Sunday's game wasn't a consideration, with the running back noting afterward, "my leg is going to have to be halfway off for me to stop." With that in mind, Wyatt notes that as the end of the first half approached, Henry headed to the Titans' locker room early in order to afford the team's trainers/medical staff added time to keep him loose. Look for Tennessee's top back to be on the team's injury report to begin Week 15,…read more

Pair of touchdowns

Henry ran the ball 18 times for 103 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 14 win over the Raiders. He also added one reception for six yards.

Analysis: Henry put together another impressive performance, finding the end zone for the fifth consecutive game and surpassing 100 yards on the ground for the fourth time in as many games. He scored on carries of 12 and 10 yards, though his longest rush of the day was a 24-yard effort that came late in third quarter. Henry has now surpassed 1,000 yards for the second season in a row and should be in position to produce again as the Titans take on the Texans in Week 15.

Cleared for Sunday

Henry (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest in Oakland, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

Analysis: Henry followed an LP/LP/FP practice regimen last week as he dealt with a hamstring injury, only to put together his third consecutive game with more than 140 yards on the ground. On this occasion, he didn't practice Wednesday but was a limited participant Thursday before having no cap on his reps to end the week. Henry will seek yet another productive performance Sunday versus a Raiders defense that has surrendered 134.8 yards from scrimmage per game and 13 touchdowns to running backs in 12…read more

Listed as limited Thursday

Henry (hamstring) logged a limited practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: The Titans' top back didn't practice Wednesday, so his return to practice Thursday suggests that he'll be a go Sunday against the Raiders. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Henry heads into that contest listed as questionable, or minus a Week 14 injury designation.

Back at practice

Henry (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

Analysis: Henry sat out Wednesday's session, so his return to practice, in any capacity, bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Raiders. We'll revisit his status later Thursday to relay whether the running back was listed as a limited or full participant.

Sits out practice Wednesday

Henry (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.

Analysis: At this point, it's unclear if the Titans are simply managing Henry's practice reps or if the hamstring issue that limited him in two practices last week is something that might impact his status for Sunday's game in Oakland. A return to practice Thursday -- in any capacity -- would no doubt ease the concerns of fantasy managers who have been relying on Tennessee's top back, who has been on a tear of late.

Tops 150 total yards

Henry ran the ball 26 times for 149 yards and one touchdown in the team's Week 13 win over the Colts. He also added three receptions for 17 yards.

Analysis: Henry once again ripped off a number of big runs, the most impactful of which came on his 13-yard touchdown halfway through the third quarter. Earlier that drive, he rumbled for a 34-yard run -- his longest of the day -- to push the Titans into Colts territory. Henry has now scored at least once in four consecutive games, while also recording a run of 30 or more yards in four of his last five contests. He will have another exploitable matchup in Week 14 against the Raiders.

Good to go against Colts

Henry (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts after practicing fully Friday, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

Analysis: Henry is poised to head the Titans' rushing attack this weekend. He's been on a roll of late, racking up 347 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 42 carries over his last two outings while adding three catches for 19 yards in that span. He'll look to keep that run going Sunday against an Indianapolis defense that has surrendered an average of 97 yards per game on the ground.

Limited again Thursday

Henry (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.

Analysis: Henry continues to operate under a cap on his practice reps, but Turron Davenport of ESPN.com mentioned the running back looked OK in the portion of Thursday's session open to the media. Friday's injury report likely will clear up Henry's status once and for all for the Titans' Week 13 visit to Indianapolis.

Participates in practice Thursday

Henry (hamstring), who was limited in practice Wednesday, "seemed fine" during the media-access portion of Thursday's session, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: We'll have to see how the Titans classify Henry's participation level, but the running back's presence on the field Thursday suggests that his hamstring issue is not a major concern in advance of Sunday's game against the Colts.

Reps capped at practice

Henry was limited at practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Henry is coming off back-to-back big games during which he racked up 45 touches, so his limitations to begin Week 13 might be for maintenance purposes more than anything. If Henry upgrades to full participation Thursday, there will be little reason to worry about his availability for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Erupts in win over Jaguars

Henry carried the ball 19 times for 159 yards and two touchdowns in the team's Week 12 win over the Jaguars. He also added one catch for 16 yards.

Analysis: Henry delivered a trademark 74-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter, shrugging off tackles and outracing defenders down the field. After the Jaguars fumbled the ensuing kickoff, he found the end zone for a second time -- this time dragging defenders to the goal line for a 12-yard score. Henry continues to demolish opponents, as Sunday marked his second consecutive two-touchdown game with more than 150 yards on the ground. He'll draw a matchup against the Colts in Week 13.

Runs over Chiefs in upset

Henry ran for 188 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries during Sunday's 35-32 win over Kansas City. He added three yards on two catches.

Analysis: Henry gave the Titans the lead midway through the third quarter, cutting through the Kansas City defense and going the distance for a 68-yard touchdown run. Later, in the fourth quarter with the Chiefs hanging on to a two-score lead, Henry barreled ahead for a one-yard score to bring his team to within striking distance. The insertion of Ryan Tannehill has the Titans 3-1 over their last four games. In that span, Henry has logged 416 rushing yards and five total touchdowns, matching his output…read more
