Titans rule out Murray; Henry to start vs. Pats

Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray will not play in Saturday's playoff game against the New England Patriots, coach Mike Mularkey said Wednesday.

Murray was diagnosed with a Grade 3 tear of his MCL two weeks ago and hasn't played or practiced since suffering what Mularkey called a "pretty good" knee injury at the end of the Titans' loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Dec. 24.

Derrick Henry will start for the Titans for the third consecutive week.

Henry staked his claim as the Titans' lead back for the remainder of the playoffs in a 22-21 playoff victory against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday.
