After playing through a hamstring injury the two weeks prior, the Tennessee Titans decided to rest Derrick Henry in Week 16 against the New Orleans Saints after a win would no longer give the team a shot to win the AFC South once the Houston Texans clinched on Saturday.
The Titans are hoping the week off will give Henry a chance to be at 100 percent for a “win or in” Week 17 game against Houston. While ESPN’s Adam Schefter has already reported that Henry is expected to play, his status is still worth monitoring.
