Report: Titans' Henry, Simmons to return vs. Jaguars
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry and defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons are expected to be available for Saturday's matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Both players were held out of last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys but were removed from the injury report Thursday. Defensive lineman Denico Autry also missed Week 17 but is slated to return for the game that will decide the AFC South winner.
Henry was a full participant in practice throughout the week after being sidelined with a hip ailment. The three-time Pro Bowler remains the league's third-highest rusher this season with 1,429 yards and has scored 13 touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Tennessee will see the return of its most disruptive force with the return of Simmons. The Mississippi State product has racked up 53 tackles, including nine tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks, on his way to his second Pro Bowl nod this season.
The Titans are expected to lean on quarterback Josh Dobbs, who will make just his second start with the franchise Saturday. He passed for 232 yards, one touchdown, and an interception last week against the Cowboys.
