News: Broncos running back Travis Henry is excited about the thought of a 20-carry game Week 13 against the Raiders. He's just hoping his knee shares his enthusiasm. "I feel good enough to play," said Henry, who partially tore the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. "If they need me to (carry it 20 times), I'll man up and do it. My knee feels real good." Henry and rookie Selvin Young (knee strain) both practiced Thursday and Broncos coach Mike Shanahan is optimistic they'll play Sunday at Oakland. Andre Hall, though, remains a question mark. Hall sustained a high ankle sprain last weekend against Chicago on his first carry, but he persevered through the pain to finish with 98 yards on 26 carries.
Analysis: Henry has missed the last three games because of the knee injury he suffered at Detroit. He said the extra rest has rejuvenated him. "I'm pumped up about it," said Henry, who's rushed for 580 yards this season. Henry was mum on his ongoing fight with the league. The beleaguered back is fighting to keep the NFL from suspending him over the results of a drug test. He had a hearing with the league a few weeks ago in Phoenix and is still waiting to hear back. If he's unsuccessful, Henry faces a yearlong suspension. "I don't know nothing," Henry said after practice Thursday. A league spokesman had no additional information to report on the hearing. It appears as though Henry will face the Raiders and what an opportune time to return. Oakland owns the worst run defense in the NFL. Have no qualms about playing Henry Week 13, barring any last minute setbacks.

Let's put it this way I could suit up for the Broncos this weekend and get 100 yards. Okay, the Raiders aren't THAT bad, but it should be a banner day for Henry.

I'm starting HenryHe should be healthy, but I bet he comes out of the game banged up at some point, Selvin will get a few carries, then Henry will be back in.
and I agree. BUT I think that Henry beats the suspension.
