When the Tennessee Titans hold their first practice of training camp on Thursday, running back Derrick Henry will be at the top of the depth chart. But how much more work lies ahead for the former Alabama All-American during the 2018 season than he had in his first two NFL campaigns?
The Titans released former NFL Offensive Player of the Year DeMarco Murray in March, seeming to clear the way for Henry.
Henry outrushed Murray during the 2017 regular season by 85 yards on eight fewer carries. With Murray missing because of injuries, Henry had 28 rushing attempts in the Titans' regular-season finale and ran for 156 yards on 23 carries in Tennessee's first-round playoff game.
