Derrick Henry ‘not pressing’ as he tries to break out of early season slump

Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans will take on the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday for the second time in 3 weeks.
Two games ago in Indianapolis, Henry showed signs of shaking off the rust, running for 114 yards and a touchdown. It was his first 100-yard game of the season. He followed that up with 102 yards and 2 scores against Washington last Sunday.
Still, he’s averaging only 3.9 yards per carry. He’s never averaged below 4.2 yards per attempt in his career. He’s not trying to force things, though (via The Tennessean):
“When it comes, it comes,” Henry said Thursday. “I’m not pressing. Whenever it happens, it happens.”
Henry said he’s working within the flow of the offense and doing what it takes for the Titans to have success:
“I’ve just got to do my job running hard and finishing runs and all those things,” Henry said. “I don’t really get into all the other stuff. As long as we execute and do what we need to do I think we’ll have success and that’s what we need to focus on.”
