Derrick Henry Will Miss Week 18 Matchup
3 years agoTennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (foot) will remain inactive for Sunday's regular-season finale vs. Houston. The move does not come as a surprise, as Tennessee has already sewed up a playoff spot, with Henry's designation to return to practice earlier in the week serving as a formality. Henry's absence will allow D'Onta Foreman (132 rushing yards last week) to once again serve as the team's lead back, giving him sky-high DFS and season-long appeal in a favorable matchup against a lacking Texans defense. The reigning Offensive Player of the Year appeared set for another dominant season before a foot injury put him on the shelf after eight games, but Henry is on pace to contribute during the postseason in some capacity. Barring a setback, he will be in consideration for the top overall choice in drafts later in 2022.
