Henry missed a total of nine games after suffering a foot injury during an overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts. Since his absence, the Titans won six of their final nine games and were awarded an extra bye week given to the top seed in the playoffs.
In his eight games of action, Henry rushed for 937 yards and 10 touchdowns on 219 attempts. Despite missing half the season, Henry still finished ninth in the NFL in total rushing.
