Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has not been placed in concussion protocol following the team's 31-28 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, coach Mike Vrabel announced on Monday.

ESPN's Adam Schefter had previously reported that Henry had been placed in concussion protocol.

Prior to his exit, the 29-year-old recorded 102 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries. Sunday's contest was just the third game of the year in which he's topped the century mark on the ground.

Henry has been largely durable for much of his career. While he played only eight games in 2021, that was the lone time in his first seven seasons in the NFL that he didn't appear in at least 15 games.

When healthy, Henry is one of the best offensive playmakers of his generation, with a resume that includes an Offensive Player of the Year and three Pro Bowl selections. He has 197 carries for 841 yards and eight touchdowns to go with 22 catches for 185 yards in 12 games this season.

The Alabama product also led the league in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in back-to-back years in 2019 and 2020.

While the Titans don't have anyone who can fully replicate Henry's impact while he is sidelined, look for Tyjae Spears to see more opportunities in the meantime.

Spears was also effective despite the loss, as the third-round rookie picked up 75 yards on 16 carries. Although he's only been on the field for roughly half of the Titans' offensive snaps this season, he should have a larger role against the Miami Dolphins on Monday if Henry is sidelined.
