Source: The #Titans are signing FA RB Adrian Peterson, putting him on the practice squad then elevating him to the roster.
How do you replace a 2,000-yard rusher? If you’re the Titans, the answer is you sign a different one. Derrick Henry was forced to undergo surgery on Monday, which will reportedly sideline him for the next 6-10 weeks. That means he could miss the rest of the regular season, so the Titans have reportedly agreed to a contract with Adrian Peterson.
Peterson has previously been one of the best running back in football — including rushing for 2,097 yards in 2012-13 — but he’s now 36 years old.
