Tennessee Titans' Derrick Henry passes test with contact practice

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry took another step toward being activated before their divisional playoff match-up against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday.

The team held a padded practice on Tuesday and had some of the defensive players bang into Henry as he went through drills during the individual period of practice with the running backs.
