With the Titans making a playoff push, they can ill-afford to lose their best player on offense for any amount of time. As the week progresses we’ll know more about just where Henry stands ahead of the crucial Week 15 game against the Houston Texans.

This doesn’t come as much of a surprise considering head coach Mike Vrabel made it clear after Sunday’s game that the team would take the same approach it did the two weeks prior he was listed on the injury report with a hamstring issue, which was to limit Henry’s practice reps.
Two weeks ago, Henry was limited on Wednesday and Thursday before getting in a full practice on Friday. Last week, Henry didn’t practice on Wednesday, was limited on Thursday and then got in a full practice on Friday.
With the way he was obviously playing hurt in Week 14 against the Oakland Raiders, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him sit out the first two practice days of the week, with Friday being the ultimate determining factor in him suiting up for Sunday.
At best, we can expect a limited practice on Thursday, which would certainly be a good sign since it would be an upgrade from his Wednesday participation. No practice on Thursday, however, would create a bit more concern going into Friday’s practice.
