Titans' Henry faces toughest foe and friend Monday in Denver
The Titans traded Casey to Denver this offseason in a salary dump, clearing $11 million in cap space by sending the five-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman to Denver for a seventh-round draft choice.

That was easily the low point in a season in which Henry ran for an NFL-best 1,540 yards. โHaving a player of his caliber and his leadership not be out there with us is definitely going to be a blow to the team," Casey said. โHeโs a game wrecker,โ Henry said.
