Derrick Henry on playing the Titans this weekend, "they shipped me out"
This Sunday the Tennessee Titans are set to face the Baltimore Ravens, and it will be the first time that former Titan Derrick Henry faces off against his former team.
It'll be an emotional game this weekend for both players and fans. Henry is still well loved in the community and the fans are happy to see him playing well.
"It was bittersweet... good things don't last forever so it was time for me to find a new home," Henry stated on Wendesday.
"They shipped me out."
According to Henry, the team made no attempt to retain him in the 2024 offseason -- it was mutually time to move on.
Looking forward to the weekend, Henry didn't have much to say.
"It'll be a crazy moment to be playing against that I came into the league with, but I'm not trying to make too much of it though."
Titans' star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons is going at this game no different than any other.
"Nothing changes with Derrick. He's a big back, hit his ass. We went versus Skatebo last week, he tried to run people over," Simmons said. "Derrick puts his pads on like any other running back. Much respect to Derrick, but we can't overcomplicate the game, just play football."
"He's an animal," Titans' coach Robert Saleh said, "still running like he's 25."
It will surely be a tough task for the Titans' defense to stop Henry, and he may have a little extra motivation.
