Allen Park — In Tennessee, Titans running back Derrick Henry is on pace to shatter the NFL record for carries. The supersized rusher is currently averaging more than 27 carries and nearly 30 touches per game, and with an extra regular-season contest added to the schedule starting this season, he's threating to topple Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing mark set in 1984.
With that oversized workload, there are obvious questions about the long-term impact it could have on Henry's career. The last guy to run the ball 400 times in a season, Larry Johnson with Kansas City in 2006, failed to top 200 carries in five injury-shortened seasons following the feat prior to retiring.
