That’s what the NFL Network learned on Sunday. The star player could even be in uniform during the 18th week of activities, if ever his roster is not yet assured of participating in the post-season.

On October 31, Henry broke his foot in a clash against the Indianapolis Colts. At that point, he was dominating all the other running backs on the circuit in rushing yards (937) and touchdowns (10). His name was also often mentioned in discussions about the title of NFL MVP.

In his absence, the Titans’ offensive production has greatly diminished. The Titans were, however, able to hold onto the top of the American’s South Section by virtue of an 8-4 record after 13 weeks of activity.
