Packers defense prepares for Derrick Henry

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAW) -The Packers’ defense is one of the best in the NFL against the pass, but against the rush, their 4.8 yards per carry is 27th in the league. Thursday, they face one of the toughest assignments in the league in Tennessee’s bruising back Derrick Henry.

“When you tackle him, you just got to have a plan,” said Packers’ defensive tackle Kenny Clark. “However you’re hitting him, guys gotta. You gotta gang tackle him as a team.”

Henry is a menacing mix of size and speed. Standing at 6′3, 250 pounds, Henry is tough to tackle.
