Derrick Henry Expected To Play Saturday
3 years agoTennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (foot) is expected to be activated from Injured Reserve and play in the Divisional Round against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Henry is fully healthy 11 weeks after surgery to fix a broken fifth metatarsal in his foot. He got through the week of practice just fine while taking contact and should be activated from IR on Friday. The 28-year-old had 937 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on 219 carries in just eight games before his injury, and he also added 18 receptions for 154 yards on 20 targets. Henry is arguably the best and most dominant running back when healthy. It remains to be seen if he'll be limited at all after the long layoff, but we'd venture to guess that Henry will be the clear lead back against Cincinnati on Saturday. With Henry's return, D'Onta Foreman's fantasy value is all but lost.
