At this point, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about in regard to Henry’s Week 13 status. He should be ready to roll on Sunday against the Colts, but we’ll continue to keep you updated.

After some panic following a limited practice on Wednesday, it looks like Henry will be just fine.

We’ll have to wait for the Thursday injury report to be released to have a better idea of where Henry is. We’ll update this page once that has been released.

According to ESPN’s Turron Davenport, Henry popped up on Wednesday’s injury report.

According to John Glennon of The Athletic, Henry left practice early.
Official Titans inj report:
— John Glennon (@glennonsports) November 27, 2019
—No practice for Sims and Gilbert.
—Henry, who left practice early, was limited with hamstring.
—Others limited were Cruikshank, D Jones, Sharpe, Kalu, Jackson.
At this point it’s too early to tell just how serious this is, if at all. We’ll have a better idea as the week goes on.
Henry and the Titans offense had just come off of one of their best games of the year on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where the team relied heavily on him and the running game to produce.
The fourth-year running back came out of that game against Jacksonville last Sunday without any reported injuries, so it looks as though he might have suffered this during practice. That hasn’t been confirmed yet, though.
After a strong performance in back-to-back games for Henry aginast the Jaguars and the Kansas City Chiefs, the running back looked as though he would be a large part of the Titans offense for yet another week. Having Henry enter the game on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts at less than 100% would be a big blow to Tennessee’s gameplan.
If Henry is unable to play, the majority of the rushing responsibility will fall to veteran running back Dion Lewis. Lewis is in his second year with the Titans, and hasn’t seen much time with the offense while sitting behind Henry in the middle of his career-best season.
When Lewis has played, he hasn’t had the same success with the ball that Henry has. However, Lewis provides a dynamic pass-catching ability out of the backfield that Tennessee could use if the run game stalls.
That’s not to say that Henry will sit out against the Colts. We will keep you updated right here as the week goes on with updates on Henry’s progress through this injury.
