Henry rushed the ball 22 times for 122 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Bengals. He added one reception for 11 yards and a two-yard passing touchdown.
EDGE Analysis
Henry had seen his production dip in every game this season, though he reversed that trend with his first 100-rushing yard performance of the season. He ripped off several big runs, with his longest gain being a 29-yard run into the end zone, during which he ran through several potential tacklers. Henry also found some unconventional ways to contribute to the offense when he threw a two-yard touchdown to Josh Whyle (ankle) after taking a direct snap at the goal line.

Henry rushed 11 times for 20 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Henry was held to minus-7 yards on four first-half rushing attempts, then saw limited work in the second half as the Titans mustered just three points against the stout Browns defense. The star running back will look to bounce back in Week 4, when the Titans return home to host the Bengals. Cleveland has allowed only one offensive touchdown through three games, so this poor performance can largely be chalked up to a difficult matchup, though Tennessee's poor offensive line play so far this season suggests not much will come easy for Henry in 2023.

Henry (toe) was a full participant in practice Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns, John Glennon of the Nashville Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the Browns will be adjusting to life without star running back Nick Chubb (knee), Tennessee's workhorse is good to go for this Week 3 clash. Henry was a limited participant Wednesday before missing Thursday's session, and while that absence was reportedly due primarily to rest, it was still reassuring to see Henry get in a full session Friday to prove he's healthy heading into a matchup with a Cleveland defense that's allowing 65.0 rushing yards per game, which is tied with Tennessee for fourth fewest in the NFL.

Henry (toe) returned to practice Friday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henry was limited in Wednesday's practice before taking the day off Thursday. His return to practice Friday puts Henry on track to play Sunday against the Browns. The 29-year-old has rushed 40 times for 143 yards and one touchdown through two games while adding five catches for 71 yards on seven targets.

Henry's absence from practice Thursday was attributed to a combination of his toe issue and rest, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henry was a limited participant Wednesday, and the running back's listed reasons for his absence Thursday suggest that he was likely having his practice reps managed ahead of Sunday's game agains the Browns. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Henry approaches the Week 3 contest with an injury designation, or if he's fully cleared to play.

Henry (toe), who was a limited participant Wednesday, didn't practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henry's downgrade in practice participation makes the running back's status worth monitoring closely as Sunday's game against the Browns approaches. It's possible that Henry's absence was maintenance-related rather than indicative of a setback, but either way, Friday's injury report should provide added clarity with regard to his Week 3 status. If Henry is limited to any extent this weekend, Tyjae Spears and Julius Chestnut would be next up for added touches in the Titans backfield.

Henry was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a toe injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henry is nursing an injury after playing 46 of 65 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers en route to rushing 25 times for 80 yards and a touchdown while adding three catches for 15 yards. The Titans haven't provided any indication that the running back is in any danger of missing this weekend's game against the Browns, but he'll presumably need to log a full practice by Friday in order to avoid taking an injury tag into the weekend.

Henry rushed the ball 25 times for 80 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers. He added three receptions for 15 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Henry was predictably more involved in the offense in Week 2 after seeing only 15 carries in the season opener. He had two big plays in the game, including a 23-yard carry in the second quarter that helped set up a field goal. One possession earlier, he leaped across the goal line from one yard away to record both his and the team's first touchdown of the season. Henry has had limited production on the ground by his standards to begin the new campaign, but he has 214 total yards of production.

Henry rushed the ball 15 times for 63 yards in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the Saints. He added two receptions on three targets for 56 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Despite facing only a small deficit throughout the game, the Titans surprisingly abandoned the run in the second half, limiting Henry's workload. He made up for that with a few big plays, the longest of which came on a 46-yard gain on a screen pass late in the second quarter, ultimately setting up a field goal. Though his production came in an unexpected way, Henry put together a fine performance and should be more involved in Week 2 against the Chargers.

Henry, who has spent more time in Nashville this offseason compared to previous years, has been been in town for all six of the Titans' voluntary OTAs, including Tuesday's minicamp, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Titans' clear-cut top back noted that his increased offseason presence stems from wanting to get up to speed with the team's new offense under coordinator Tim Kelly. "It's a completely new offense, and I'm just coming in here trying to learn everything, and get used to the terminology," Henry noted, while adding "(I wanted) to try and get on it as early as I can and learn (the offense)" and "get some reps in so when I get back, I'll be ready to go in camp." Per Wyatt, the 29-year-old, who logged 349 carries in 16 games in 2022, "looks to be in great shape" at this stage of the offseason, while also looking "smooth running and catching the ball." As the coming season approaches, Henry is poised to maintain his high-volume role in Tennessee's offense, while 2023 third-rounder Tyjae Spears and 2022 fourth-rounder Hassan Haskins are in line to compete for complementary snaps in the team's backfield.
