Derrick Henry was unable to practice all week for the Tennessee Titans, but that won't prevent him from playing in Week 15. According to NFL.com's Tom Pelissero, Henry is set to play versus the Houston Texans on Sunday for the AFC South title.

Over the past two weeks, Henry has been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury. The bruising back was able to play last week against the Oakland Raiders and put together another notable performance.

Following Tennessee's win over the Raiders, Henry began missing practices. Despite not practicing in any fashion during the week, the team says that it was a cautious approach so Henry could be ready in time for Sunday's important clash with the Texans.

The Titans have won six of their past seven games since Ryan Tannehill became the starting quarterback. As a result, Tennessee is currently tied with Houston for the division lead in the AFC South at 8-5.

Provided that, the winner of Sunday's game will take sole possession of the lead in the division. There was no chance that Henry was going to miss this game.

Ahead of Week 15, Henry is the second-leading rusher in the NFL with 1,243 rushing yards. He also has a career-high 15 total touchdowns already.

The 25-year-old running back has been on an impressive run in over the past month. In his last four games, Henry has gashed opposing defenses for 599 yards on 86 carries (6.97 yards per attempt) and seven touchdowns.

While Henry will suit up for the Titans, Will Fuller is expected to be on the field for the Texans in Week 15.
