Report: Titans trading for Chargers DB Desmond King

The Titans are reportedly making a much-needed addition to their secondary, as the team is trading for Chargers defensive back, Desmond King, according to multiple reports.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to report the deal, which has the Titans sending a sixth-round pick to the Chargers in exchange for the former All-Pro, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
This amounts to a huge addition for the Titans, a team that sports one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. King has posted an impressive overall PFF grade of 74.0 this season and has experience playing in the slot.
The talented defensive back had fallen out of favor in Los Angeles and publicly questioned why he wasn’t getting more playing time. It isn’t clear what led to that situation, though

Titans’ Derrick Henry named AFC Offensive Player of the Week

Titans running back Derrick Henry is receiving recognition for his incredible Week 6 performance against the Texans by being named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week.
Henry dominated the Texans to the tune of 212 rushing yards and two scores, and he also added a pair of receptions for 52 yards — but Henry didn’t just post big numbers, he was clutch, also.
The Alabama product notched a 94-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter and his 53-yard reception in overtime set the Titans up for a game-winning score that Henry himself punched into the end zone.
The 200-yard, two-score performance was the third of his career, and he’s only the fourth player in NFL history to have that many.
He joined an impressive list featuring Hall of Famers Jim Brown, Barry Sanders and LaDainian Tomlinson
