Derrick Henry was on pace for almost 2,000 yards before he went down with a foot injury back in October.
In the eight games he played, Henry ran for over 100 yards in five of them and 130 or more yards in four of them. The Tennessee Titans went 6-2 in that span.
Now the best running back in the league is ready to come back. But it is not quite clear how much he will be able to contribute.
Yesterday, Henry participated in his first contact practice since the injury. He said he “felt great,” but head coach Mike Vrabel still wants to see how the running back holds up in the rest of the practices this week.
