Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry will undergo foot surgery Tuesday and there is no timetable for his return, Titans coach Mike Vrabel said Monday.
Henry was injured during Sunday’s 34-31 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
The Titans are concerned Henry has a Jones fracture, which would require season-ending surgery, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The NFL’s leading rusher with 937 yards, Henry has 353 more yards than any other player in the league. He also has a league-high 10 rushing touchdowns.
On Sunday, Henry rushed 28 times for 68 yards and a 2.4-yard average that was his lowest this season, playing 54 of the 73 offensive snaps. He appeared to receive medical attention on his right foot midway through the first quarter but promptly returned to the field.
The 2020 AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year did not talk to reporters after the game.
Henry, 27, led the league last year with 378 carries for 2,027 yards and 17 touchdowns.
Last week the Titans placed backup running back Darrynton Evans on IR, losing him for the season to a knee injury.
The Titans also have running backs Jeremy McNichols and Dontrell Hilliard on the roster.
Adrian Peterson, 36, the league’s fifth all-time leading rusher, is traveling to Nashville to meet with Titans and to potentially help fill Henry’s void, a source told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
The Titans (6-2) currently have the best record in the AFC after winning four straight.
