Derrick Henry was having himself an incredible season with the Tennessee Titans and if he continued on this pace, he would have been very close to achieving a 2000-yard season. Having said that, the injury bug struck Henry yesterday as the team was playing against the Indianapolis Colts. Henry and the Titans were able to come away with the win, however, Henry was nursing his foot afterward and it had many concerned about his condition.
This morning, it was reported that the injury could spell the end of his season although he would need to be evaluated by team doctors. Now, a verdict is in and it does not look good for the cornerstone of the Titans offense.
