[Russini] Titans running back Derrick Henry was on the practice field this past week jogging in cleats. I was told no decision has been made as to when he will return. He could be ready next week but they are hoping to lock up a playoff spot so they can give him more time.

He will be back in the playoffs. They won’t play him in the regular season.

The only way I see him playing next week is if we have a reasonable shot at the #1 seed. So Titans win and Chiefs lose this week.

Probably wouldn't hurt to give him a live snap or two to grease the wheels

Ten snaps from their own one yard line and make him do full field sprints to shake the rust off against the Texans.

Yards going into the Texans game: 937

Yards after 10 snaps from the Titans' 1 yard line: 1927

You can’t tell me that if the Titans are in a “win and you get the 1 seed” situation that Henry won’t play.

And if the Titans win and the Chiefs lose today, that’s exactly what they’ll have. Even if Henry didn’t play the entire game, I bet he will want to get in and help. Really wouldn’t hurt to give him a warm up too.

That's what I said, my man.

If both the Titans and the Chiefs win this week, there's no reason to push Henry out there next week.

If we have a shot at the #1 seed they'll definitely use him to get that

Even if chiefs win this week we can get the 1 seed if they lose next week. Not likely but still.

If he comes back full strength in the playoffs I think the Titans can get hot enough to win the SB.

Is there any reasonable scenario in which the Titans don’t make the postseason? I don’t see how a 10 win teams stays out in the current format.

Pretty unlikely. Titans have to lose out, Colts and probably a couple other teams need to win out.

Magic number is 1. They’re in play for 1 seed too

Right, I think if we lose out and the Colts win out, we're fighting for a wildcard with 10 wins, so any of the following winning out may KO us, depending on final conference record: Bengals/Ravens (whoever doesn't win the division), Patriots/Dolphins (unless Pats win the division), Chargers/Raiders; any of these teams could win out and reach 10+ wins and potentially win tiebreakers with Tennessee and knock them out.

They’d have to pull a Falcons

And other teams would have to win out for them to get bumped

Y'all ever see those videos of horses finally getting to run around in spring after a few months of being locked up inside?

AFC lookin like a fresh field of grass about now
