Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is listed as inactive for Sunday's matchup against the New Orleans Saints, the Titans announced.

Henry will miss his first game this season. He was downgraded to questionable on the Titans' Friday injury report despite being a full participant in practice.

The 25-year-old, who was selected to his first Pro Bowl in 2019, missed all practices before Week 15 but was able to play against the Houston Texans, amassing 86 rushing yards on 21 carries during Tennessee's loss.

He's posted 685 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground over his past five tilts.

Cornerback Adoree' Jackson, wide receiver Adam Humphries, and defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons are also inactive for Tennessee on Sunday.

The 8-6 Titans enter Week 16 with the same record as the Pittsburgh Steelers, but due to the tiebreaker, they trail for the AFC's second wild-card spot.
