Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry ruled doubtful vs Dallas Cowboys, point spread moves

Losing Derrick Henry would be quite a blow for the Tennessee Titans Thursday against the Dallas Cowboys. It’s also having an impact on the spread for the game.

The Cowboys are now favored by 12 points after the Titans announced Henry is doubtful for the Thursday Night Football showdown. That’s nearly a three-point swing from the original 9.5-point spread.

Henry is a key part of the Tennessee offense and has put together another impressive year in 2022. He has rushed for 1,429 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games for the Titans, who bring a 7-8 record into the matchup against the Cowboys.

Dallas is looking to build off last week’s thrilling victory over the NFC East-leading Philadelphia Eagles, which came down to the wire. Two Brett Maher field goals in the final minutes proved to be the difference as the Cowboys came away with the 40-34 win.

Kickoff between Dallas and Tennessee is set for Thursday at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video.
