The Tennessee Titans head into Thursday night’s fixture with a renewed sense of purpose, and once again, much of the anticipation centres around Derrick Henry.
The powerhouse running back is coming off another solid outing, chalking up 64 yards from 21 carries and slotting in two touchdowns. It was the sort of performance that reminded supporters why Henry remains one of the most influential figures in the Titans’ offence.
Henry Set for a Big Week 13 Test
This week’s challenge, still, is set to be tougher as the elephants make their way to face the Baltimore Ravens, one of the AFC’s most competitive outfits.
Kick-off is listed for 820 p.m. ET, with suckers suitable to catch the action live on NBC and Peacock. For anyone hoping to watch from the daisies, tickets are still available on StubHub, while Fubo will offer streaming access depending on indigenous restrictions.
Henry’s availability brings a sigh of relief to the Titans’ camp, as he enters Week 13 with no injury concerns. Over in the Ravens’ camp, things are a touch more complicated.
Running back Justice Hill has been ruled out with a neck issue after contributing both on the ground and in the end game this season. His absence adds further pressure on the Baltimore backfield.
The Ravens may also be keeping a close eye on Rashod Bateman, who’s managing an ankle injury. Bateman has been a dependable option in the Baltimore attack, collecting 194 receiving yards and two touchdowns so far.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson is working through a toe problem, too, though signs suggest he should be ready to lead the Baltimore offense under the lights.
What does Henry’s Form mean against Baltimore?
Henry’s emotional form this season has made him one of the named dawdlers across the AFC geography.
With 871 rushing yards on 187 carries, comprising 79.2 yards per game, and nine touchdowns to his name, he remains the twinkle of the elephants’ ground game.
His crusade so far has showcased both his explosive bursts and his trademark physical handling style. Then there’s a quick look at his 2025 trip to date:
- Week 1 at Bills: 18 carries, 169 yards, 2 TDs; 1 reception, 13 yards
- Week 2 vs. Browns: 11 carries, 23 yards
- Week 3 vs. Lions: 12 carries, 50 yards, 1 TD; 1 reception, 7 yards
- Week 4 at Chiefs: 8 carries, 42 yards; 2 receptions, 16 yards
- Week 5 vs. Texans: 15 carries, 33 yards, 1 TD
- Week 6 vs. Rams: 24 carries, 122 yards; 1 reception, 8 yards
- Week 8 vs. Bears: 21 carries, 71 yards, 2 TDs
- Week 9 at Dolphins: 19 carries, 119 yards
- Week 10 at Vikings: 20 carries, 75 yards; 3 receptions, 9 yards
- Week 11 at Browns: 18 carries, 103 yards, 1 TD; 2 receptions, 19 yards
- Week 12 vs. Jets: 21 carries, 64 yards, 2 TDs; 2 receptions, 24 yards
With the Baltimore Ravens’ defence dealing with injuries and reshuffling crucial positions, Henry could be in line for a much lesser part.
Whether he continues his scoring band or the Baltimore defence finds a way to contain him will be one of the caption talking points heading into the match.
Either way, Thursday night promises a proper clash between two determined sides. And as the elephants gear up to challenge one of the AFC’s most flexible contenders, all eyes will be on Derrick Henry as he aims to guide his side past a tough Ravens outfit.
