Titans sign RB Adrian Peterson to practice squad

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Nov 01 · 3:57 PM EDT

The Titans are signing FA RB Adrian Peterson, putting him on the practice squad.

Related players: Jeremy McNichols, Derrick Henry

Fantasy Impact:

Peterson will need to get up to speed but should project to get a lot of the early down work with McNichols remaining a change of pace and passing down back. Some who follow the team feel McNichols is not an every down back so it's possible Peterson has low-end RB2 or RB3 fantasy value going forward as Henry is expected to miss the rest of the regular season. The trading deadline is Tuesday and it's possible the Titans make another move, but for now, Peterson is expected to eventually be elevated to the active roster. When last seen with the Lions, Peterson ran 156 times for 604 yards and seven TDs in 2020.

Titans RB Derrick Henry's (foot) timeline: 6-10 weeks

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Nov 01 · 2:35 PM EDT

From NFL Now: Titans RB Derrick Henry will have foot surgery tomorrow morning and be out 6-10 weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport's tweet went on to say six would be quite fast and eight is more likely. Either way, Tennessee expects Henry back this season. Six weeks may get Henry back for the start of fantasy playoffs but the eight-week mark would possibly bring him back for fantasy finals. This is a close call in redraft leagues and owners probably can't drop him just in case of a return before the season is over. In the meantime, McNichols is next up but he's more of a third down back. With about a day left until the trade deadline, it's possible the Titans make a move. Peterson has been mentioned as a free agent signing with other names like Ronald Jones and Marlon Mack being mentioned as trade candidates.

Titans fear that Derrick Henry has a fracture in his foot, MRI pending

Adam Schefter

Nov 01 · 9:56 AM EDT

Titans’ RB Derrick Henry suffered a potentially season-ending foot injury during Sunday’s 34-31 win over Indianapolis, sources reported ESPN. Henry is undergoing an MRI today to determine the full extent of the damage.

Ian Rapoport added that Henry will have an MRI today. The immediate concern is that he has a fracture in his foot.

Fantasy Impact:

If Henry misses a long stretch of time, it will obviously be very difficult for fantasy managers to replace him. Jeremy McNichols has 28 touches (including 21 catches) on the year and Darrynton Evans is on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season. The Titans have two fullbacks, Khari Blasingame and Tory Carter, on the active roster, along with Mehki Sargent and Dontrell Hilliard on the practice squad. Schefter already tweeted a few names that the Titans could trade for if Henry were to miss time: Tevin Coleman, David Johnson, Phillip Lindsay, Ty'Son Williams, Melvin Gordon, Ronald Jones, Mike Davis and Rashaad Penny.

Titans release RB Javian Hawkins

Adam Schefter on Twitter

Aug 31 · 9:23 AM EDT

Titans have waived running back Javian Hawkins, per source.

Related players: Derrick Henry, Brian Hill, Darrynton Evans

Fantasy Impact:

Hawkins looked to be the team's fourth running back but was likely battling Hill for the RB3 role. It could be a bit of good news for Evans, who was talked about as a back who could see a much bigger role this season. But Evans got hurt in a preseason game and has missed time. If anything, this could at least mean Evans is on the mend and poised to see an RB2 role on the Titans. He's expected to be involved in the passing game.
