AND THE Derrick Henry isn't making promises, but he is making progre s. The Titans' superstar running back from a broken foot, going through a padded practice Tuesday in which he took contact.On Wednesday, when asked if he expects to play against the , Henry responded, "We'll see how this week goes, and we'll see where I'm at on Saturday," but The Titans are expected to make an official decision on Friday. There's no running back who means more to his team than Henry does to the Titans, so should he return, it would be a major boon for the AFC's top seed. This season, the Titans averaged 5.7 yards per play with Henry on the field compared to 4.8 with him off the field. Even pa ser rating was more than 15 points higher when Henry played. I'll do some more digging for you: the Titans' three-headed monster of Henry, and have played just 120 snaps together this season, and none since Bill Mazeroski Jersey Week 7. On those 120 snaps, though, the Titans averaged 7 yards per play. For reference as to how good that is, the led the NFL this season at 6.1 yards per play.That means Tenne see could be more dangerous than we may think, as NFL guru Jeff Kerr writes in Kerr: Honorable mentions: Joel Embiidbecame to score 50 points and grab 10 rebounds in le s than 28 minutes of playing time last night. That seems pretty good to me.Nikola Jokic had a . That also seems pretty good to me. to a thoroughly deserving high school quarterback. And not such a good morning for...THE Generally speaking, it's not a great thing to have one of your franchise's most iconic players bash the team. That means it's not a great time to be the Dallas Cowboys. Hall-of-Fame quarterback Troy Aikman during a radio interview Wednesday -- specifically regarding the lack of involvement from Barry Bonds Jersey during the Cowboys' playoff lo s.Aikman: Aikman's correct in that Lamb probably should have been more involved -- he finished with one catch (on five targets) for 21 yards and one rush for 5 yards -- but the idea that Lamb "won" most of the time isn't quite right. Of the four targets he didn't catch, two were the result of tight coverage, one was a bad throw from that landed several feet short and one was a flat-out drop by Lamb.Anyway, we're le s than one week removed from the Cowboys' season ending, and I'm sure we'll be hearing plenty more frustrated Cowboys opinions throughout the offseason. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Not so honorable mentionBucs coach Bruce Arians for striking his own player, safety , during Sunday's Wild Card win. Arians plans to appeal the fine.Ranking the divisional round matchups Let's face it: the Super Wild Card Weekend wasn't all that super. The average winning margin was more than 17 points, and only one underdog -- the 49ers -- won.I'm going to go out on a limb and say the divisional round will be much, much better.The bettors agree, with the line for all four games within 5.5 points. I wouldn't be surprised if we see multiple underdogs win.Now, There's a clear top game in our NFL expert Jordan Dajani's eyes: Dajani: It's hard for me to disagree here. Allen has morphed into one of my favorite players to watch, and Mahomes is Mahomes. There's little else that needs to be said there.I'll leave you with this to chew on:Since Mahomes became the ' starting quarterback, 17 different teams have him twice in a single season, including playoffs.Of those 17, only one has won both meetings: the Tom Brady-led 2018 , who eventually won the Super Bowl.So, Kyle Crick Jersey while the Bills are more than capable of becoming the second team on that list, don't expect a repeat of Buffalo's 38-20 blowout win back in October.You can check out the full rankings .MLB trades we'd like to see once the lockout ends Yup, the MLB lockout is still going on, and, nope, there's no end in sight.One way to help us get through it? . How about the Athletics-- who before the lockout began -- and the Yankees, who are (almost) always willing to spend? Here's the package that should happen, according to our MLB expert Mike Axisa:Yankees get: SP Frankie Montas, 1B Matt OlsonAthletics get: INF Oswald Peraza, RHP Luis Gil, C/1B Austin Wells and "see what it takes to bridge the gap"Here's why it could make sense for both sides:Axisa: But my favorite Axisa hypothetical who has hit more HR than anyone else at the position over the past two years, and I'll leave you with that cliffhanger to go check out.What we're watching Thursday No. 4 Purdue at Indiana, 7 p.m. on FS1 No. 3 Louisville at No. 4 NC State, 7:30 p.m. on ESPN Suns at Mavericks, 7:30 Kevin Newman Jersey p.m. on TNTPacers at Warriors, 10 p.m. on TNT
