Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Nick Chubb

Updating a previous report, Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel clarified on Monday that running back Derrick Henry (head) is not in the league's concussion protocol. It was reported earlier on Monday that Henry was in the protocols after suffering a head injury in the Week 13 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. It's good news for King Henry, but it's still concerning that he never returned to the game, and his status for Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins next Monday could be in question. The good news is the bruising running back had a highly productive game before his injury, rushing 21 times for 102 yards and two touchdowns. Rookie Tyjae Spears had a season-high 16 carries for 75 yards against Indy and is deserving of a waiver-wire pickup this week, especially if you have Henry rostered.

The Cleveland Browns announced on Tuesday that running back Nick Chubb (knee) had a second successful surgery on his left knee to fix his torn ACL. Chubb's first surgery back on Sept. 29 was to fix his meniscus and MCL. The 27-year-old suffered a brutal season-ending left-knee injury against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 18 and will now spent the rest of the year rehabbing to try and make it back in 2024. In his absence, Jerome Ford has taken over as the team's lead back, while Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong Jr. have also seen their roles drastically increase in Cleveland's backfield. It remains to be seen if Chubb will actually be ready for the start of the 2024 regular season next fall.
