Tennessee Titans 2021 training camp preview: Running backs

How will things shake out behind Derrick Henry for the Titans in 2021?

As far as the Tennessee Titans’ running back situation is concerned, you can pretty much start and end the conversation with Derrick Henry, who has been the team’s workhorse back since the end of the 2018 season.

Henry has won back-to-back rushing titles, rushed for 2,000 yards, and won an AP Offensive Player of the Year award while owning the vast majority of snaps out of Tennessee’s backfield.

His dominance on the ground the past two years is unmatched in this era, and as a result experts have been forced to rank him as the best running back in the NFL despite a lack of production in the passing game.

The other backs on Tennessee’s roster will be fighting for scraps behind Henry, but exactly which ones will get those scraps? And who will be the team’s insurance policy in the event that Henry gets hurt?

We’ll try to answer those questions and more as we preview the Titans’ situation at running back going into training camp.
