With 219 carries already, Henry will likely continue to lead the league into December.

Bad news for a great player. Personally I was looking forward to seeing Henry against our D, but that's football.

I do remember backup RB's having career days against our defense. I hope those days are over now.

NFL Network just reported they are signing Peterson to practice squad and then elevate him to the active roster. Could they really start him Sunday night?

Titans just signed Adrian Peterson

Adrian Peterson.

Damn, I was really looking forward to see how the Rams were going to defend against him.

Think we can change title of thread now

Titans run game is still a huge threat for us without Henry. They're a dominant group physically so hope the Rams DL rotation is ready for a full 60.

This one is a trenches game. If we don't hold up in the trenches we're gonna get bullied.

McNichols will likely start Sunday. He knows the entire offense. I wouldn't be shocked to see AP get a decent number of carries though, and roles could switch at some point. McNichols isn't a big dude.

Absolutely brutal injury. I'm a Henry fan. I like power football and what little is left of it in the modern NFL. It's what i grew up watching. I also drafted him for the Broncos (2nd rd) in the ROD mock several years back and you kind of get attached to some of those guys if you take your armchair scouting seriously, lol.

Big break for our guys this weekend. Tannehill must be shitting bricks this week.

Too bad for Henry who has been on a different level. The Rams could have used the test against a big back with holes to run through. Hope he comes back healthy. Sunday nite game so I expect with Miller's addition there shouldn't be a letdown.

If I remember it right, I broke that same bone the first week of 8th grade (the week after Labor Day). Didn't get the cast off until the end of October...

Hate to see anybody on his level go down. Good for the Rams bad for football.

I really like Henry. He reminds me of times past.
He was the last of his kind. An old school back that could
take a team and put them on his back and carrying them
right to the playoffs.

I would check in on his stats from time to time and think
The Titans have GOT to do something to lighten his load just a little.
Even the greatest, toughest backs can only take so many 30 carry games.

Nothing but respect for #22 and I hated to see him go down regardless of
us having them this coming week.
Make no mistake the Titans will be fired up to win this one for #22

He's the kind of back we don't see anymore in the NFL you're absolutely right. Reminds me of what SJax was or what he could have been with a good OL and coach. Might just be the team but I always think of Earl Campbell when watching Henry.

 

[CoachAllred]

Snead be like: "Not if we sign him first!"

I was wanting that the day Cam went down.
He is still a tough runner

 

[RamWoodie]

When the Rams play playoff contenders, I WANT THEIR BEST because it's a fair measure.

First thing out of the mouth of some when the Rams beat Tampa was "they didn't have AB"

It is what it is...but I'd rather Henry was healthy and playing!!!

Never like seeing injuries, especially to great players. Love watching Henry play… would‘ve been interesting to see how run D would have handled him. Shame for the game.
