On Monday, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel announced that running back Derrick Henry was scheduled for foot surgery on Tuesday, giving no timetable for his return.
Adrian Peterson was first put on the practice squad and now has agreed to terms with the Titans.
A future Hall of Famer, Peterson played in 16 games for the Detroit Lions, starting 10 games, in 2020. He rushed for 604 yards and seven touchdowns on 156 carries with the Lions, an average of 3.9 yards per carry.
Peterson, who’s 36, has 14,820 total rushing yards in 14-year career, which is just 449 behind Barry Sanders for fourth-most all time.
A first-round pick of the Vikings in the 2007 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma, Peterson has played with the Vikings (2007-2016), Saints (2017), Cardinals (2017), Redskins (2018-19) in his career, in addition to his one-year stint with the Lions in 2020.
A seven-time Pro Bowler, Peterson was the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 2012 and he’s led the NFL in rushing in three separate seasons (2008, 2012, 2015).
