Derrick Henry out for the season
- Thread starter cshea
- Start date
Terrible. This guy is so much fun to watch. And the ability he has to take over games made the Titans a threat to any team. Hope it’s not as serious as feared.
Oof, that’s brutal. With most RBs, this isn’t a huge problem, but Henry is a true difference maker that can regularly break 25-50 plus yarders and get yards against stacked boxes.
They are fearing a Jones fracture for Henry. A season-ender if that's the case. The stars are starting to align for the Pats to make a real playoff push. Playing struggling Carolina and Cleveland the next 2 weeks, a Falcons team probably without Calvin Ridley, and the Titans without Derrick Henry.

He's been indestructible for so long, it's shocking to think he might miss the rest of the season. It absolutely sucks, Henry is one of the most enjoyable players to watch in the NFL.
I guess Jeremy McNichols will be a big fantasy pickup. But he's no Derrick Henry.
I couldn't remember who the Titans backup RB was so I looked it up.
Holy hell do they lean on Henry. Henry has 219 carries on the year. McNichols has 7 carries! It looks like they have a 3rd stringer, Mekhi Sargent who has 2 carries on the year. Tannehill has the 2nd most carries on the team with 23 and I'm sure a handfull of those are kneeldows. Incredible.

They'll either trade or sign for a new starter is my guess, McNichols is the receiving back 21 catches in 7 games.
Darrynton Evans was supposed to be the backup and get some change of pace carries, he started the year on IR (just like he ended his rookie year) he came off IR, got 2 carries in his first game, knee felt wrong, got pulled out... back on IR this time for the year.
There's no way they'll lean on McNichols, he's purely in on passing plays. We'll need to get someone in before the trade deadline closes this week.
They've got Darrynton Evans who was a third round pick last year, who would have played more this year, but he's been injured himself and landed on IR on Friday. Just killer timing on that front too.
Yup. Easily top 3 on my favorite non-Pats. Simple reality is that a lot now falls on Tannehill, AJ, and Julio’s balky hammy.
The biggest focus of Volin's Sunday Glob football page was Henry as the last of the disappearing workhorse RB.
The Henry injury really changes the landscape of the AFC. Tennessee was really gaining the inside track for one of the top two seeds with their record and a head to head win against Buffalo. The AFC South is terrible so the division is still winnable, but the Titans aren’t what they were 24 hours ago.
219 is just way too many carries at this point. Joe Mixon is next at only 137! Also, Henry led the league in carries the previous 2 seasons. It sucks, but it was practically inevitable. It's a tribute to how incredibly strong and tough he is that he's lasted this long without an injury like this.
Sounds like Adrian Peterson could be the move.

Why? He's washed, hasn't played in a year and is 36.. also he can't catch the ball.
They should just make a trade. Plenty of RB's available... Mack, Lindsay, Hyde, Johnson, Jamaal Williams... etc.
Call Cam Newton and offer him the job. Doubtful he takes it, but it would be an intriguing development.
He had an uneventful campaign with the Giants last year; he is a FA.
I think he may be cooked/unwilling to keep playing, judging by the fact he has not apparently worked out for any of the RB needy teams through the first two months.
Top 2 really isn't as significant this year, correct? Only the top gets the bye? Regardless, the AFC is wide open!
I think he was a legit MVP candidate. Sure, he was only around +1600 now because of the "it's a QB award" narrative. But like many things, that narrative would have gradually changed if he continued to trend towards breaking the record in 16 games. A lot would have depended on the QBs too. What if there were bunch of QBs having great years but no one really stood out from the pack?
Alas, it doesn't matter anymore.
Sounds like a Lisfranc injury for Henry since they got an MRI. Jones fracture can be diagnosed with just an X-ray. Lisfranc definitely ends his year and could potentially have ongoing ramifications. Sucks, the guy is fun to watch.
Are Lisfranc injuries generally the cause of build up of wear and tear or a specific misstep?
They were saying 6-10 weeks, so wonder if they got the MRI just to be safe?
