Mike Mularkey revealed a bit about the Titans’ strategy with Derrick Henry following their win in Chicago.

When Henry got more carries than usual, Mularkey was asked why.

“That’s kind of been our plan all year, we get into a four-minute [situation], and we run Derrick,” Mularkey said. “A little fresher. Some of the things we were running, he runs well.”

But of Henry’s eight carries for 60 yards in Sunday's win over the Bears, just two for eight yards came in 4:00 situations.

In those scenarios at the end of the first half and the game, offenses look to convert first downs and maintain possession, and above all else, making sure the other team doesn’t get the ball back.

The story said the team hasn't been in many of those situations this season. But overall, in the final 4:00 of a half with the Titans ahead, Henry has nine carries for 28 yards. That’s only 12.8 percent of his carries and 8.9 percent of his yards. And the Titans bell cow back, DeMarco Murray, has had more work in the 4:00 situations Mularkey is saying can be earmarked for Henry. He has 10 carries for 38 in the same situations.

An MRI on Titans rookie running back Derrick Henry on Monday showed that Henry has a calf strain.

Titans Coach Mike Mularkey told reporters that Henry could miss just a day or could miss up to two weeks, depending on how Henry responds to treatment. Henry was injured while warming up for Sunday’s game at San Diego and did not play.

That timetable would make Henry questionable for this week’s game vs. the Packers and also potentially questionable for the Titans’ Nov. 20 game at Indianapolis. Antonio Andrews was the backup to DeMarco Murray.

Titans rookie running back Derrick Henry is questionable to play against the Chargers because of a calf injury, the team announced early in the second quarter.

Henry was possibly poised to get more work after DeMarco Murray suffered a toe injury last week. But Henry didn't receive a carry before the injury.
