NFL: Playoffs: Titans again without Murray – Brown at 100 percent?

The divisional round is on its way – and the first injury updates are leaking: Tennessee without DeMarco Murray will have to play for the patriots, while the Pittsburgh Steelers can look forward to Antonio Brown in full possession of his forces. All playoffs will be shown live on DAZN!

Brown, who had sustained a calf injury in a duel with the Patriots in Week 15, was able to train fully with the team on Wednesday. The last two games of the regular season had been missed by the All-Pro-Receiver, in the first play-off round the Steelers had a Bye-Week.

A few days ago, NFL network insider Ian Rapoport then announced that Brown would be in a 100 percent duel with Jacksonville. Brown himself reaffirmed these reports when he posted a video showing how to make Chad Ochocinco look very old on the training ground.

The Steelers will need Brown’s full strength to take on Jacksonville’s pass defensive offensively: the Jaguars will come to Pittsburgh with the best cornerback duo in the league and an extremely dangerous pass rush, Brown is the best receiver of the season. The Jags won their first match of the season in Pittsburgh 30:9 when Ben Roethlisberger threw five exceptions.

Running Back DeMarco Murray, who has been struggling with knee problems for weeks, will also miss the duel with the New England Patriots. Murray had already had to wait out the previous two matches due to injury.

This again puts Derrick Henry in the foreground. Henry already carried Tennessee to the surprising success in the Wildcard round against the Chiefs and already in the regular season he was the much more explosive and agile of the two Titans-Backs for most of the time. Tennessee travels to New England as a 13.5 point underdog, his own run game seems to be the only chance to annoy the high-flyer.
