Titans' Derrick Henry: Scores against Raiders

Henry rushed 12 times for 49 yards and a touchdown, and caught one pass for eight yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders.

Analysis:

Henry's 49 yards led the Titans, but he didn't touch the ball until after DeMarco Murray exited the game with eight carries for 40 yards and a touchdown. While Murray is the team's starting running back and has been quite impressive this preseason, Henry also continued his success when called upon Saturday. His score from three yards out capped a 14-play, 85-yard drive for Tennessee's first-team offense, and through three preseason appearances, he's now rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries, giving him an average of 5.7 yards per tote. With numbers like those, Henry is clearly ready to contribute as a rookie, and along with Murray, could give the Titans a strong one-two running punch once the regular season kicks off.
