Tennessee Titans star Derrick Henry is expected back for the 2021 NFL playoffs.
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reported the Titans are expected to activate him for a return from injured reserve "shortly."
The running back underwent foot surgery in November, with NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reporting at the time he was expected to miss six to 10 weeks. Rapoport followed up on Dec. 12, noting that the two-time Pro Bowler could be back in time for the NFL playoffs.
Prior to breaking a bone in his foot, Henry was building an MVP-caliber resume.
