ESPN’s Adam Schefter sent shockwaves through the football world Monday morning, announcing Titans running back Derrick Henry suffered a potential season-ending foot surgery on Sunday. It has since been reported that Henry will miss the next 6-10 weeks, likely return near the later end of that timeline.
And just like that, the league-leading fantasy football scoring entering Week 8 is likely done for the fantasy season. It’s a devastating blow for Henry owners, as the workhorse was also projected to be the top ranked running back the rest of the season.
The injury comes as Henry was on a record pace in terms of rushing yards and usage.
