The New Orleans Saints caught a big break ahead of Sunday’s game with the Tennessee Titans: star Titans running back Derrick Henry is not expected to suit up against New Orleans while dealing with a hamstring injury, per a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Henry’s availability in practice was limited throughout the week; after Saturday’s walkthrough practice session, the Titans downgraded his game status to questionable. Now, it appears he won’t play at all.
It’s a huge blow for Tennessee, because Henry has essentially been their entire running attack for much of the 2019 season. He’s accounted for 271 of the Titans’ combined 380 rushing attempts, and 87.
