Derrick Henry Managing Ankle Injury

Derrick Henry Managing Ankle Injury

12 months ago

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on the first practice report of Week 12 on Wednesday. Henry's ankle injury isn't believed to be serious, but he did on just over half of the team's 40 offensive snaps in the Week 11 blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The 29-year-old is likely just being given some extra rest before this Sunday's tilt versus the Carolina Panthers. Negative game script has certainly been hurting King Henry, but he's also slowing down a bit as he approaches 30 years of age. All signs point to Henry being fine for the Week 12 contest as he looks to bounce back from two straight disappointing performances in which he was held to 62 total rushing yards. He'll be on the RB1/2 borderline as long as he's active.
