DeMarco Murray ruled out for playoff game vs. Patriots

DeMarco Murray has been held out of Tennessee’s last two games with a knee injury, and the Titans running back is not going to be able to return in time to help his time against the New England Patriots.

After he was held out of practice yet again on Wednesday, Murray was ruled out for Saturday’s divisional round playoff game.

Murray suffered a torn MCL in his team’s Dec. 24 game against the Los Angeles Rams, and an injury of that nature typically requires a 4-6 week recovery period. There was a slim chance Murray was going to be able to suit up against New England, but apparently he needs at least another week to rest.

Without Murray, the Titans will once again lean on Derrick Henry. The former Alabama star rushed for 156 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries in a comeback win over the Kansas City Chiefs last weekend, so he is obviously more than capable of carrying a full workload.
