Titans

Titans HC Mike Vrabel made it clear that RB Derrick Henry won’t be on a pitch count this season, despite concerns about him potentially being worn down. 

“We felt like that’s where Derrick was at physically, condition-wise,” Vrabel said, via Pro Football Talk. “That [number] may change each and every week but Derrick is not going to be on any pitch count. He gets himself in great condition and he understands the responsibility he has to the team to be able to sometimes carry it as many times as he did on Monday night. Every game is different.”
