According to Turron Davenport, the TennesseeTitans star running back is expected to be activated from injured reserve on Friday and will start in the playoffs.
Ian Rapoport reported that Henry has had no setbacks in practice and is expected to play Saturday against Cincinnati.
Henry has seen a lot of his campaign impacted by injury. He had a great start to the season, with 962 rushing yards and 10 touchdown through eight games, but a foot injury ended his season.
He was ninth in the league in rushing yards despite missing over half of the season.
He was expected to make a return for the playoffs, especially after the team secured a first-round bye.
Henry is a force at the running back position. He became the first player since Chris Johnson in 2008 to reach the 2,000-yard mark in rushing and receiving in the same season, and just the eighth player in NFL history to accomplish the feat. Dickerson set a single-season record in 1984 with 2,105 yards.
It wasn't a one-off. Henry had 1,540 and 16 touchdown runs.
There were always questions about whether his workload would catch up to him, and he was on pace for 400 carries in the 2021 season before his injury.
With Henry set to return, theTitans will have a huge weapon at their disposal against Cincinnati.
It is not known if Henry will get his normal workload Saturday, but if Vrabel wants to ease him back in, he can use D'Onta Foreman, who rushed for 566 yards and three touchdown in nine games during Henry's absence.
