To tackle King Henry, it’s going to take an army of 11.
The Green Bay Packers will face a tall task on Sunday night in trying to contain the man with the rushing crown, Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry.
Henry is the most physically imposing running back in the NFL. At 6-foot-3 and 247 pounds, he can be a tractor-trailer driving through a swarm of mosquitoes. But he’s also got the speed to run away from defenders.
With that frightening combination, Henry leads the NFL with 1,679 rushing yards. With 321 yards in his final two games, he’d become just the eighth 2,000-yard rusher in NFL history. His 119.9 rushing yards per game is No. 14 of all-time. Of the 13 backs ahead of him on that list, only three can meet or exceed his 15 touchdown runs.

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers welcomed back a somewhat familiar face on Tuesday by signing defensive lineman Brian Price to the practice squad.
Price (6-3, 322), a third-year player out of the University of Texas-San Antonio, went undrafted in 2016. He failed to make the roster and spent most of his rookie season on the practice squad, with the exception of one early-season appearance against Detroit in which he played 10 snaps.
When he failed to make the roster coming out of training camp in 2017, he was claimed off waivers by Dallas. Price played in eight games for the Cowboys in 2017. In 2018, he played in 12 games for Cleveland and one game for Oakland. He spent time on the Colts’ practice squad in 2019. This summer, he spent a week of training camp with the Jaguars before being released following a knee injury.
