Derrick Henry Returns to Nashville to Face Vulnerable Titans Defense

Tennessee’s league-worst tackling after first contact makes Henry a clear matchup advantage that could shape Sunday’s outcome.

Overview

  • The 0-3 Tennessee Titans travel to Baltimore to play the 2-1 Ravens on Sunday, with Baltimore averaging about 30.7 points per game.
  • Derrick Henry has 301 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns through three games and ranks among the league leaders in yards gained after first contact.
  • Tennessee has allowed 220 rushing yards after first contact this season, a figure that magnifies the threat Henry poses to their front seven.
  • Titans coach Robert Saleh warned there is no good way to simulate the Lamar Jackson–Derrick Henry combination and said his players will focus on leverage and disciplined tackling.
  • Baltimore ruled out EDGE Trey Hendrickson for Sunday, a change that modestly reduces pass-rush depth while Tennessee still must protect Cam Ward and secure first downs to keep the game within reach.
