NASHVILLE, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- This preseason, Derrick Henry looked like one of the best young running backs in football.

But once the real games started, Henry struggled to get snaps behind DeMarco Murray. Now, Henry could find it even harder to get on the field, due to a calf strain.

Titans coach Mike Mularkey said Monday that Henry "had an MRI and strain of calf."

The Titans tweeted that Henry "will be monitored and could be back quickly or out a couple weeks."

Henry, 22, left in the first half of the Titans'43-35 loss to the San Diego Chargers, but he suffered the injury during pregame warm-ups. He has 328 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown this season.

Because of the Titans' upcoming schedule and the heavy use of Murray, I would keep Henry on your roster in deep leagues. Henry had a career-high 16 carries for 60 yards and a score in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He hasn't had more than 10 carries in any other game this season. Murray currently ranks No. 2 in the NFL with 807 rushing yards.
