The Tennessee Titans are concerned for their starting running back Derrick Henry ahead of the Week 9 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. A broken foot derailed Henry's 2021 season and the superstar is suffering a minor foot injury. He was limited on Wednesday and did not take part in Thursday's practice sessions. Henry has been one of the best performing running backs this season and the Titans are a weaker side without him.
There is good news for fantasy owners. After practice on Thursday, Derrick Henry told reporters:
"My foot is fine. There’s nothing wrong. I’ll be out there on Sunday playing. The foot is fine. There’s nothing to panic about, so everybody have a great Thursday."
Henry played an important role in last week's 17-10 win against the Houston Texans. He scored two rushing touchdowns in 32 attempts while rushing for 219 yards. He is in his best form and looks set to repeat the performances from the 2019 and 2020 season.

Is Derrick Henry playing Week 9 against the Chiefs?
Derrick Henry will play Sunday's game against the Chiefs. As of now, Henry isn't listed as injured and might have taken precautionary measures to avoid injury during practice sessions.
He himself has confirmed that he will be playing in Sunday's game and will remain the starting RB for the Titans in Week 9. The Titans hold a record of 5-2 and are in a favorable position to make the playoffs. They also lead the AFC South division.
Derrick Henry's fantasy outlook
Henry seems to be healthy and should always start in NFL fantasy. Henry has started seven games and has rushed for 755 yards and seven touchdowns. Henry's backup is Dontrell Hillard, who has rushed for 109 yards, caught for 144 yards and scored three receiving touchdowns.
In the last four seasons, Henry has been very consistent with his performances. He has scored 10 or more touchdowns in every season and rushed for more than 1,000+ yards in three out of the last four seasons.
In the 2020 season, he recorded 2027 rushing yards from 378 attempts and scored 17 touchdowns. He already has seven touchdowns in seven games this season and the future seems bright for the Titans.
