The Tennessee Titans are 6-2 and firmly entrenched atop the AFC South, as the Colts are a distant second place with a 3-5 overall record. However, Tennessee may need to sort out the remainder of the year without its star running back:
Titans’ RB Derrick Henry suffered a potentially season-ending foot injury during Sunday’s 34-31 win over Indianapolis, sources reported ESPN. Henry is undergoing an MRI today to determine the full extent of the damage.

We don’t have official word yet, but Tennessee bringing in 36-year-old Adrian Peterson for a workout and the ominous tone of this is pretty unsettling. Peterson ran for 604 yards and seven scores last year, averaging 3.9 Y/A for a woeful Detroit Lions team. He would at least carry flex value if he landed in Tennessee.
There’s no replacing a player of Henry’s talents...but what’s your backup plan, gamers?
