Suffered foot injury in Week 8
Per ESPN’s Dianna Russini via a source: “There is optimism that (Derrick Henry) will be back early January. That is perfect timing for this team for playoffs to begin.”

Nerdy Football Analysis: Henry was given an 8-10 week timeline shortly after undergoing foot surgery, which could allow him to return during the fantasy playoffs if he meets the most optimistic projection. Until then, Adrian Peterson and D’Onta Foreman will continue to split the early-down work for Tennessee. Foreman has looked better to this point, but it is important to remember he was in camp with Atlanta this summer and occasionally worked out for teams before landing in Tennessee. Peterson is basically getting his first reps since last season.
