Titans RB DeMarco Murray Out vs. Patriots, Derrick Henry to Start Again

Titans running back DeMarco Murray will not play against the Patriots in the AFC Divisional Round playoff game on Saturday, as he'll miss his third straight game with a knee sprain.

Murray's absence means Derrick Henry will see a vast majority of the carries for Tennessee, which knocked off Kansas City 22-21 last week thanks in large part to Henry's performance. The second-year back out of Alabama, who won the Heisman Trophy following the 2015 season, rushed for 156 yards and a score on 23 carries. The big, bruising back—listed at 6'3'', 247 pounds—broke off a 22-yard run on third-and-10 with 1:53 remaining that clinched come-from-behind victory for Tennessee.
