RBs Henry, White to suit up again

 

 

Titans Coach Jeff Fisher said he expects Travis Henry and LenDale White will be the running backs again Sunday against Washington.

 

Chris Brown most likely will be inactive unless injuries at other positions create an opening.

 

 

 

 

If so, it would be the first time the Titans have had the same pair of backs in consecutive games. White sat out the opener; Henry was inactive in weeks 2 and 4; and Brown was benched for the other two.

 

"Week after week, it's a good problem to have," Fisher said. "Fortunately, we've been able to keep two healthy backs up each week. They're all interchangeable and they're all working hard on the practice field. The offensive players have confidence in all three of the backs."

 

Henry (19 rushes, 123 yards) and White (eight rushes, 48 yards) both had season-highs for rushing yards at Indianapolis.

 

Trade push?: Before the season, Brown's agents asked the Titans to trade him.

 

With Brown currently looking like the odd man out, do they put on the full-court press again?

 

The NFL trading deadline is Oct. 17.

 

"Our perspective on it is we pushed for a trade before the year, and we thought it made a lot of sense. But it didn't happen and I'm not sure things would be different if we pushed for it again," agent Ryan Morgan said. "Obviously we want Chris to play. We think he is a great player. But we can't make (General Manager) Floyd Reese pull the trigger."

 

Brown has 106 yards this season, which ranks third behind Henry (205) and White (111).

 

"Chris is a team guy. … He is just staying in great shape and trying to stay positive," Morgan said. "We have the deadline coming up and we'll talk about it and consider our options. If something happens we would react to that. But until then, he is just going to keep working hard."
