Tennessee Titans to make official decision on Derrick Henry for Bengals game Friday

The Tennessee Titans will determine Friday whether to activate star running back Derrick Henry for their AFC divisional-round game against the Bengals, coach Mike Vrabel said.

It’s long been expected that Henry will be activated, but the Titans don’t have to formally do so until 3 p.m. CT Friday.

Tennessee (12-5) hosts Cincinnati (11-7) on Saturday at Nissan Stadium (3:30 p.m. CT, CBS) for a spot in the AFC championship game.

“Derrick is progressing well,” Vrabel said. “Obviously, I think his workload increased throughout the week (of practice)."

Vrabel added that no players on the active roster have been ruled out for Saturday. Second-year defensive lineman Teair Tart (ankle), who's listed as questionable, is the only Titans' player on the final injury report. Starting cornerback Jackrabbit Jenkins (ankle) and outside linebacker Derick Roberson (non-injury related), both of whom were sidelined at practice Wednesday, returned to the field Thursday.

On the Bengals’ side, standout defensive end Trey Hendrickson has cleared concussion protocol and will play against the Titans, Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor told local reporters. Hendrickson led the Bengals with 14 sacks during the regular season.

The Bengals also listed wide receiver Stanley Morgan (hamstring) as questionable.
