Derrick Henry Potential Season Ending Foot Injury

[Castavar]

 

I know this isn't Panthers related, but holy sh*t that sucks for him and the Titans. What's the theme here?........................ Turf. That game had like 9 leg injuries, two of which seem to be season ending. Can the NFL please do away with artificial turf? We saw it happen to our own guys in CMC and Horn too at NRG stadium (also turf). At what point does the NFLPA gear up and refuse to play on any field that isn't grass?

Bummer for Henry he's a hell of a player. Over half the stadiums in the league use turf now. It doesn't look like that will be changing anytime soon.

Turf might have played a role, but he also put some serious mileage on his tires last year. The guy had almost 400 touches last year.

There is also debate if Henry made it worse coming back in for the game.

While that is true, there were a lot of leg injuries in that game yesterday (majority non contact).

Definitely didn't help.

Henry's usage rate isn't made for longevity, unless he is one of those outliers.

I wish we could just turn off injuries.

Side note…Royce to Tennessee for a pick?

I imaging they probably want someone better, but given the state of available RBs, he might be one of their better options.

This should be an interesting thread.

Anyways, it was only a matter of time. He has been used a ton by the titans.

sounds like another team that has it's entire offense built around the stud  RB.

might not be a good idea to do that and run the guy into the ground. overreliance and overusage might have more to do with it than turf (not that turf isn't a problem).
