At the time of the injury, Derrick Henry was the NFL‘s leading rusher. He had gained 937 yards on the ground in 2021. That’s over 350 yards more than the next closest player. He also leads the league with ten rushing touchdowns.

Henry had 28 carries for 68 yards at the time of his injury. He was hurt in the first half of the team’s win over the Colts but did finish the game. Playing hurt has been a common theme among athletes recently.

The former Alabama running back has tallied 6,797 rushing yards along with 65 career touchdowns during his six-year career with the Titans. He led the league in rushing in 2019 and appeared to be cruising to another such title. Henry was the 2020 AP Offensive Player of the Year.
