McNichols could be in line for a bigger role due to Derrick Henry's foot injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Titans are waiting for official word on the extent of the damage to Henry's foot. Regardless of whether he is ruled out for the rest of the season, it appears that the NFL's rushing leader could be in line for a lengthy absence. McNichols has served as the Titans' No. 2 back for the entire season, though he has only seven rushing attempts across eight games. It's also possible that the team searches for help outside the organization at the trade deadline, particularly given that Darrynton Evans (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of the campaign.
