Broncos-Titans Pregame: Henry Out; Lynch Active

November 19th, 2007 - 5:26pm by AndrewOther posts by Andrew

As the grandstands begin to fill here in downtown Denver, we got the official word that Travis Henry is out for tonight’s game with the Tennessee Titans, making it two straight games and three of the last four on the sidelines for the former Titans running back.

Selvin Young is expected to start in Henry’s place.

Also among the inactives are cornerback Jeff Shoate, fullback Paul Smith, guard Isaac Snell, defensive ends Larry Birdine and Paul Carrington and wide receiver Javon Walker. Quarterback Darrell Hackney is inactive, but in uniform as the emergency No. 3 quarterback.

Coincidentally, Snell and Birdine are also former Titans; both were on their practice squad before being signed directly to the Broncos’ 53-man roster in the last few weeks.

John Lynch returns and is expected to start, and fullback/running back Mike Bell is back in uniform for the first time since a concussion sidelined him beginning with the loss at Indianapolis on Sept. 30. Bell missed two games with the concussion and was a healthy scratch for the four games following the Week 6 bye.

Also, from the Titans sideline, defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth is out; he did not pracitce at all last week.

Travis Henry

As expected, Travis Henry was not at practice Friday, attending a hearing with the league in Phoenix regarding an appeal of a potential suspension. Head Coach Mike Shanahan noted after Friday’s practice that he did not know when the issue would be resolved.

“I don’t know if it will be the following week, two days later or nine days later,” he said.

As for Henry’s status for Monday night, that remains in the air. He is listed as questionable with the partially torn posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He saw limited work in Thursday’s practice, but missed all of the work on Wednesday in addition to his Friday afternoon absence, leaving the decision on his status to be made closer to game time.
