The Tennessee Titans will once again be without the services of Pro Bowl running back DeMarco Murray due to a knee injury for Saturday's wild card matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Ian Rapoport of The NFL Network.

Murray is dealing with a torn MCL in his right knee that he suffered in the fourth quarter of Tennessee's Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He hasn't practiced all week due to the injury and was already hedging toward missing Saturday's contest.

The 29-year-old struggled to build upon his bounce-back 2016 campaign this season ,posting a career-low 659 rushing yards on just 3.6 yards per carry in 15 games played. He only rushed for more than 100 yards once while failing to break 70 yards in every other game.

With Murray out of the mix, the Titans will turn to second-year running back Derrick Henry to shoulder the primary role in the backfield. Henry struggled a bit in the season finale, a 15-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He rushed for 51 yards on 28 carries, but he did have the the Titans' only touchdown on a 66-yard reception.

Henry looks to have a favorable matchup against the Chiefs, who finished 25th against the run this season while giving up 15 rushing touchdowns. Tennessee may lean on him in the running game on the road with a hostile crowd at Arrowhead Stadium.
