Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray will miss his team’s pivotal playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The #Titans have ruled RB DeMarco Murray out with a bad knee sprain, as expected. It’s the Derrick Henry show.

The three-time Pro Bowler has been nursing a third-degree MCL tear he received back in Week 16. The former Dallas Cowboy and Philadelphia Eagle missed Tennessee’s Week 17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Titans will now rely on Derrick Henry to lead their running attack against the Chiefs. The Alabama product and Murray split carries for most of the season, Henry rushing for 744 yards and five rushing touchdowns while Murray accumulated 659 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns.
