Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry will have an MRI on Monday to determine if a foot injury he sustained on Sunday is season-ending, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported early Monday morning.
Titans’ RB Derrick Henry suffered a potentially season-ending foot injury during Sunday’s 34-31 win over Indianapolis, sources reported ESPN. Henry is undergoing an MRI today to determine the full extent of the damage.

The MRI will confirm if Henry has a jones fracture in his right foot, Schefter said. A jones fracture, which affects the fifth metatarsal of the foot, would require season-ending surgery.
Henry, 27, was spotted getting medical attention toward the end of the second half of Sunday's 34-31 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts. He had 28 carries for 68 yards on the day.
Losing Henry would be a huge blow to the Titans. The Alabama product currently leads the league with 219 carries for 937 yards and 10 touchdowns on the season and is the main weapon in Tennessee's offensive arsenal.
