It would seem that rookie Hassan Haskins didn't do enough through camp to supplant the veteran behind Derrick Henry.

Rexrode says that Dontrell Hilliard has looked tremendous on these downs, adding "He is clearly the second-best running back on the roster, a guy I believe would get the bulk of the work if Derrick Henry were to miss any time. Hilliard, over rookie Hassan Haskins, should be the handcuff choice for fantasy owners at this point."

The Tennessee Titans have activated RB Derrick Henry (foot) from Injured Reserve.

Henry should be the lead back for the Titans, but his workload is very much unclear.

The Tennessee Titans have designated RB Derrick Henry to return from Injured Reserve. He now has 21 days to be added to the active roster.

Henry's potential return for the playoffs is huge, especially if the Titans get an extra week of rest if they secure the top seed in the AFC.

Titans RB Derrick Henry (foot) is on track to return to the lineup by the playoffs, perhaps even earlier.

Henry's rehab is going so well that he is able to be on this timeframe of returning for the playoffs or perhaps even Week 18 if the Titans are in a win-and-in scenario. There was always the chance he could return at some point even after the injury originally happened, so this is a great sign for Henry and Titans, who are still holding on to the AFC South lead and in the mix for the No. 1 seed in the AFC at 8-4.

The Titans are signing FA RB Adrian Peterson, putting him on the practice squad.

Related players: Jeremy McNichols, Derrick Henry

Peterson will need to get up to speed but should project to get a lot of the early down work with McNichols remaining a change of pace and passing down back. Some who follow the team feel McNichols is not an every down back so it's possible Peterson has low-end RB2 or RB3 fantasy value going forward as Henry is expected to miss the rest of the regular season. The trading deadline is Tuesday and it's possible the Titans make another move, but for now, Peterson is expected to eventually be elevated to the active roster. When last seen with the Lions, Peterson ran 156 times for 604 yards and seven TDs in 2020.

From NFL Now: Titans RB Derrick Henry will have foot surgery tomorrow morning and be out 6-10 weeks.

Rapoport's tweet went on to say six would be quite fast and eight is more likely. Either way, Tennessee expects Henry back this season. Six weeks may get Henry back for the start of fantasy playoffs but the eight-week mark would possibly bring him back for fantasy finals. This is a close call in redraft leagues and owners probably can't drop him just in case of a return before the season is over. In the meantime, McNichols is next up but he's more of a third down back. With about a day left until the trade deadline, it's possible the Titans make a move. Peterson has been mentioned as a free agent signing with other names like Ronald Jones and Marlon Mack being mentioned as trade candidates.

Titans’ RB Derrick Henry suffered a potentially season-ending foot injury during Sunday’s 34-31 win over Indianapolis, sources reported ESPN. Henry is undergoing an MRI today to determine the full extent of the damage.

Ian Rapoport added that Henry will have an MRI today. The immediate concern is that he has a fracture in his foot.

If Henry misses a long stretch of time, it will obviously be very difficult for fantasy managers to replace him. Jeremy McNichols has 28 touches (including 21 catches) on the year and Darrynton Evans is on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season. The Titans have two fullbacks, Khari Blasingame and Tory Carter, on the active roster, along with Mehki Sargent and Dontrell Hilliard on the practice squad. Schefter already tweeted a few names that the Titans could trade for if Henry were to miss time: Tevin Coleman, David Johnson, Phillip Lindsay, Ty'Son Williams, Melvin Gordon, Ronald Jones, Mike Davis and Rashaad Penny.

Titans have waived running back Javian Hawkins, per source.

Hawkins looked to be the team's fourth running back but was likely battling Hill for the RB3 role. It could be a bit of good news for Evans, who was talked about as a back who could see a much bigger role this season. But Evans got hurt in a preseason game and has missed time. If anything, this could at least mean Evans is on the mend and poised to see an RB2 role on the Titans. He's expected to be involved in the passing game.

With the season opener now less than 21 days away, Derrick Henry is ramping up his work.

The Titans running back participated in team drills Monday for the first time in training camp, Ben Arthur of The Tennessean reports.

Previously in training camp, Henry took part only in individual drills and occasional sandpit work. He had become more involved in walk-through sessions recently, the story said.

Titans RB Darrynton Evans started in place of Derrick Henry in their first preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons. On his fourth carry he pulled up on and outside run and didn't return per a clip from Josh Norris of Underdog Fantasy.

Darrynton Evans missed 10 games his rookie season with a strained hamstring and while the reports have said knee the video shows "either a hamstring or (less likely) proximal calf” [credit @DrJesseMorse]. Tennessee holds Brian Hill, Jeremy McNichols and Mekhi Sargent behind Henry and Evans, this will be a backfield situation to monitor going forward.
