Derrick Lamar Henry Jr. is an American football running back for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League. His imposing rushing game and larger stature than the average running back earned him the nickname “King Henry”.
Derrick Henry: Is injured| Stiff arm| Return date| Is coming back
Is Injured:
The Tennessee Titans head into this weekend’s bye with an impressive 8-4 record despite losing back-to-back contests. They’ve managed to compile a convincing winning record by overcoming several early season obstacles, particularly in the injury department.
Tennessee last took the field for a Week 13 loss at the hands of the New England Patriots without key players such as Derrick Henry, A.J. Brown, Julio Jones, Bud Dupree, David Long Jr., Rashaan Evans, Chris Jackson, Nate Davis, Teair Tart, Jeremy McNichols and several others.
Stiff Arm:
Bye weekends can be anti-climatic, as you rather watch your team in action. We don’t feel that way about the Titans. This bye week is much-deserved, and more importantly, much-needed.
The Titans won’t get every injured player back for their Week 14 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but here are five Titans that could realistically return to the lineup.
Return Date:
It has been more than a month since Titans star running back Derrick Henry broke his foot, taking one of the NFL’s most dominant forces off the field. While Tennessee has held its own — going 2-2 before last week’s bye — Henry has gone to work.
Sources say that rehab for the All-Pro rushing champion is going so well that Henry is in line to return for the playoffs if Tennessee makes it in — or potentially Week 18 if the Titans face a win-and-in situation.
Coming back:
From the initial injury to Super Wild Card Weekend is 11 weeks. If Henry returns the week prior for the final game of the regular season, that would be 10 weeks.
This is an injury that has an estimated recovery time of six to 10 weeks. So potentially, he may be back sooner.
