FBG currently has Selvin Young ranked at #8 RB this week. so someone here dont think Henry is playing this week

That's Dodd's rankings. Bloom has Henry/Young splitting until further notice. Really is a reflection of the uncertainty.Fanball's Take.

I heard a rumor that the injury is much worse than they revealing.

Yeah, there are about 10 pages combined on that. I find it difficult to believe since the article linked in post #2 states that he was walking with a less of a limp than he was after the Indy game.

Travis Henry-RB-Broncos Oct. 4 - 1:03 pm et
Travis Henry (ankle, knee) appeared to walk with less of a limp on Wednesday than he had following Sunday's loss to Indianapolis.
This is good news, but Henry's status may come down to a game-time call and an issue of pain tolerance in Week 5. He is still experiencing soreness. Rookie Selvin Young would start against San Diego if Henry can't go.

Oops, my bad, but what I posted is a synopsis of the Henry situation from that article posted in Rotoworld.

after reading this, I hope they just sit Henry out this week. I have Young so it won't matter to me at all. There is a bye week next week and Henry getting 2 full weeks off will only help him long term. And Mike Bell doesn't know if he can go so it's one less back that Shanny could screw us withAnyone with me on this?

If he misses tomorrow, I'd say there's better than a 80% chance he doesn't play Sunday. The Broncos will probably play it smart and not play Henry until week 7 since they have a bye in week 6.

I agree, If he dont practice tomorrow, Im sitting him anyway, the 4:00 start screws me in one league anywaySD is pretty good at stoping the run still and with the bye it shouldnt hurt that much if he comes back in week 7.

That's kind of the general NFL deal isn't it? Don't practice on Friday == very unlikely to play on Sunday.The other thing, that BSS touched on is that this isn't exactly a fun match up for the Ponys' running backs anyway. Henry out might be doing you a favor indirectly by forcing you to start someone with a better match up. (yes I have Henry in one league)

This is how I see it playing out & I think it would be for the best.. Then he would have roughly 3 weeks to rest...

Walker is doubtful for sunday and rumor does have it that he'll be out for at least 5 more weeks...
Travis is probable for sunday and is just being held out of practice to get more rest to heal the bumps and bruises from the load he carried sunday.
Broncos coach Mike Shanahan says he plans to use Selvin Young to spell Travis Henry going forward to keep Henry fresh.
Young, Henry's clear backup, had a 40-yard run in Week 2. "I can see him as a starter," Shanahan said. "He is a starter in this league." Young was also targeted twice deep as a receiver, as Denver wants to keep Young involved.

News: According to the Colorado Springs Gazette, Broncos RB Travis Henry missed practice Wednesday with his injured right leg that forced him out of Denver's Week 4 game with Indianapolis. Coach Mike Shanahan said he didn’t know whether Henry would practice Thursday. “You’re always hoping but we won’t know until tomorrow,” Shanahan said. His MRI on Monday showed no damage to his knee or ankle.

Actually they are still very good against the run. It's one of the few things that's still working for the Chargers.
packersfan
Footballguy
They've been hit or miss against the run. They shut down the Bears in Week 1 (a respectable accomplishment) and the Packers in Week 3 (hardly cause for praise given how pathetic Green Bay's running attack is) but the Patriots ran all over them in Week 2 and LJ put up a huge number on them last week - although much of his yardage came late. And given how good the Broncos are in terms of running the ball, I see no reason to fear the matchup. Perhaps it's the Chargers' run defense that should be downgraded given what it will be facing as opposed to the other way around. I think the Broncos put up some very good numbers running the ball. They will likely have to run a lot if Walker sits because the Broncos' passing game has been non-existent without him.
I think a lot of this also depends on Denvers D. If San Diego gets it together, and is able to quickly put up some points, Denver will have to abandon the run a little bit. If Denver keep LT/Gates and jackson under control, they should have good field position for some TD's and they can run the ball and control the clock.

Word has it he's going to be suspended for one year after testing positive for pot.

DENVER --
Fox 31 News has learned that Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry, the team's leading rusher, has tested positive for marijuana use and could be subject to a one-year suspension.
Henry, 28, previously served a four-game suspension from the National Football League for violating the leagues substance abuse policy in September 2005 as a member of the Tennessee Titans.
Henry can appeal the latest violation. However, if the appeal is denied, he will begin serving a one-year suspension immediately.
Henry can file for reinstatement 60 days prior to the end of the suspension.
The Denver Broncos had no official comment, instead, deferring to the NFL.
The Broncos signed Travis Henry in the off-season to a five-year, $22.5 million contract with $12 million in guarantees.

To further muddy the injury situation. Will Carroll reports the following today.
It doesn't look as if Javon Walker will be back this week. The Broncos are hoping the knee calms down, but even if he plays, he looks to be limited enough that you should consider your options. ... The news is better for Travis Henry. His ankle sprain was mild and he'll get the start on Sunday. ...
Link
Readers of Baseball Prospectus know Carroll from his Under the Knife columns, where he discusses baseball injuries. I will admit that I have not read his previous columns closely, so I don't know how accurate his information has been this year.

That quote actually came in week 2-- as in, old news. This poster might not have the latest info. Just an FYI.Since Travis has been missing practice, has Young been getting all the first-team snaps?I got this from the bronco fansite discussion board.

Henry says he will play Sunday
By Bill Williamson
The Denver Post
Article Last Updated: 10/05/2007 03:42:00 PM MDT
It appears Broncos star running back Travis Henry will play Sunday against San Diego despite injury and legal problems.
After his fist practice of the week Friday, Henry proclaimed himself healthy, saying "I'm going to play Sunday."
Denver coach Mike Shanahan said also said Henry will play if he is fully recovered from ankle and knee injuries suffered last week at Indianapolis. Meanwhile, both Henry and Shanahan declined to elaborate on the news that Henry is suing the NFL to halt the release of a drug test that would result in the NFL suspending him for a year.
Henry is disputing the urine samples in a New York court. It seems the case will take weeks to unfold before the NFL decides to suspend Henry.
Meanwhile, Shanahan said star receiver Javon Walker will not play Sunday against the Chargers. Walker has a knee issue that will need a couple more weeks of recovery time. Brandon Stokley will start in Walker's place.

Exqueeze me, but given the recent events, and saying Denver needs this game badly, so he probably starts, is very relevent to the original post. Just because you like to slam a lot of my posts, is no reason to be a jerk.

I thought you had a good idea...
Please point to the update or real news in your post...all I see is info about your roster and your personal speculation with no supporting links/news about him starting and maybe potentially aggravating an injury.

I've stated my opinion in this thread as others have. We already know the news about Henry, so I would think that some personal opinions are now welcome. It's when the thread goes in the direction not related to Henry and /or his situation that I have a problem with. "Updates" can carry this thread only so far, but we also don't need the rambling that was done in the other Henry threads. Yes, I did mention owning Young....yada...yada...yada..., but I also offered what I think the results of the recent events would do for Young later this season. Sorry for mentioning about my ownership of Young.

From the mouth of Javon Walker:
Walker stuck up for Henry on Friday and cautioned about reading too much into the situation.
"Nobody really knows the extent of it," Walker said. "We all trust Travis. Everybody on this team supports Travis. It's funny how a lot of things get blown out of proportion before everybody really knows what happens. He'll be with us the whole year. We're going to try to finish this thing strong."
Walker thought Henry would be vindicated in the end.
"We already know what the situation is," Walker said. "That will get put out at a later day and everybody will understand."

What do you expect a teammate to say? "Yes, he's a dope head and should be suspended?" He's being a good teammate. Nothing wrong with that, but take it with a gain of salt.

Overall good job keeping this all about the news.
I suspect TOMORROW will be the real test - how his knee held up afer a day of practice will determine if the team decides to play him Sunday. That said, this is the same guy who played 10 games on a broken leg. Practicing three days before a game is usually an indication that the player has at least a 50-50 chance to go.
I will virtually guarantee, however, that Shannie will mess with anyone who owns these guys by making Henry a GTD and by dressing him for the game, no matterr WHAT his real injury status.

Henry showed up at Shanahan's house unannounced on Wednesday night. He knew the story was going to break, and he wanted to talk to the coach privately. They talked for about 30 minutes, but Coach Shanahan couldn't elaborate on what they talked about.
The Sportsguys (950's morning show) had an interview scheduled with Coach this morning, and he divulged this information.

Adam Schefter just had the following update on tonight's NFL Total Access:
*** Henry practiced today and looks to be a go to START this weekend
*** The league has not officially suspended Henry yet, and even if they do, Henry would have 5 days to appeal and then almost certainly be granted a hearing
*** Schefter estimates it would be three to four weeks from now before Henry would serve a suspension if, in fact, he has to miss time

I don't think either report contradicts what I said (which was that a player practicing three days before the game has at least a 50-50 shot at playing and that tomorrow is the real test).
