Titans' clock ticks on Henry's career

Jun 26, 2009

Titans RB Chris Henry landed with the Titans because of his blazing speed, but his world came to a screeching halt last season. Henry watched 16 of the 17 games from the sideline in street clothes.
"Time is kind of relative to what is actually going on. Not playing the entire season last year, it went by slow for me,'' Henry said. "If you are in games and playing, it flies by. … My goal this year is to make the season go by a lot faster.''

There's one thing Henry doesn't want to consider, though it's something that can't be ignored: He might not make it to the season.

Henry was a 2nd-round pick in 2007, but his future with the Titans is in question. There are a half-dozen RBs competing for roster spots and the Titans can't keep them all, especially those who've underperformed like Henry has to this point.

The Titans simply can't wait forever on his potential, not with a set of hungry backs behind the proven duo of Chris Johnson and Lendale White.

Cowboys hope to get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back for Week 12

Mike McCarthy said he's hoping Cowboys will get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper Rush will get the start at QB again against the Commanders in Week 12. CeeDee Lamb led the way with 12 targets vs. the Texans, but it was Luke Schoonmaker, who took over after Jake Ferguson left with a concussion, who had 10 targets which was most behind Lamb. The addition of Cooks should help the Cowboys offense in what is a good matchup against the Commanders defense. For the fantasy world, Rush did end up throwing for 354 yards.

Cowboys will start Cooper Rush at QB in Week 12

Mike McCarthy said Cooper Rush "will be the starter" this week against Washington and a package of plays will be formed for Trey Lance.

Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy came out and said he regrets not giving Lance a chance to run the offense in the loss to the Texans on Monday Night, but even after that the team is going forward with Rush in Week 12 against the Commanders. One would have to assume Rush gets the start the following week as well, which is a short week and a game on Thanksgiving Day game against the Giants.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) 'close' to playing in Week 11

Shanahan said George Kittle was “close” to playing against Seattle and should be able to practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

It's at least a good sign Kittle is expected to practice Wednesday. The hope is he will be ready to go in Week 12. The 49ers play at the Packers, and it's in the later Sunday window so owners will certainly want to pay attention to what kind of work Kittle can get in this week at practice.
