Titans' Derrick Henry: Turns in another strong performance

Henry gained 31 yards on five carries in Saturday's preseason game against the Panthers.

Analysis:

Henry didn't quite match his performance from the preseason opener, when he took 10 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown. No matter, it was another strong showing for the second-round rookie, who is already locked in as the team's No. 2 rusher. Henry could poach carries from DeMarco Murray early in the season, and might eventually emerge as a threat for the starting job. Murray is also enjoying a strong preseason, with 11 carries for 113 yards and a touchdown. Regardless of how the carries are split, Dexter McCluster figures to handle a good portion of the passing-down snaps.
