Derrick Henry suffered a potentially season-ending foot injury last night (Twitter link via Adam Schefter of ESPN.com). He’ll know more after an MRI today, but the early word isn’t promising for the Titans running back.

Doctors fear that Henry is dealing with a Jones fracture, which would require season-ending surgery (Twitter link via Schefter). Henry suffered the injury towards the end of the second half, but somehow managed to play through the pain in overtime. A Jones fracture would not allow for any further heroics in 2021.
Henry currently leads the NFL with ten rushing touchdowns and 937 rushing yards, far ahead of Browns RB Nick Chubb (584). He finished Sunday night with 28 carries for 68 yards, with some of those totes coming after the injury.
If Henry misses time, the Titans will be left with Jeremy McNichols, Khari Blasingame, and Dontrell Hilliard at RB. Of course, none of those tailbacks can replace Henry, who tallied 2,027 rushing yards last year en route to his second straight rushing title.
The Titans advanced to 6-2 after edging the Colts last night. They’ll likely be without their star running back in Week 9 when they face the Rams.
They should trade for Mack
Actually a Julio Jones for Mack trade would help both teams
Think you may be overestimating Mack’s value just a tad
Division rivals, won’t happen.
I always hate it when stars are lost for the season. I loved watching him run!
Me too. His stiff arm is Heisman legendary. Tough break for him & the team.
Go get Mattison.. Vikings letting his talent waste away
Jones fracture is what kept Ben Simmons out his first year
So you’re saying we shouldn’t expect any 4th quarter heroics?
oof
Adrian Peterson just needs 180 yards to reach the 15,000 mark. I’d like to see him get a shot at that.
Actually seems like a decent fit on paper if he’s in shape
He’s getting a workout from Tenn. if he’s in good shape, and his latest posts show that he’s been working out expecting this to happen, he should get the chance.
