NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee offensive coordinator Terry Robiskie promised Derrick Henry he would touch the ball more as an NFL rookie than the running back did as a freshman back in college at Alabama.Robiskie delivered, actually doubling up on the workload Henry had his first year in college with four games left.Its just nowhere near what any NFL running back really wants.A year after winning the Heisman Trophy, Henry is honing his patience with the Titans, backing up the NFLs second-leading rusher in DeMarco Murray. The man who led Alabama to a national title while setting the Southeastern Conference rushing mark running for 2,219 yards has had five games as a pro with five or fewer carries.As a competitor, its always going to be tough, Henry said. But you just got to be patient like everybody says.The Titans decision to draft Henry with the 45th pick overall was a surprising move considering Tennessee traded for Murray in March. The 2014 NFL offensive player of the year with 1,845 yards rushing, Murray slumped with just 702 yards with Philadelphia last season. Drafting Henry gave them insurance at a position where they struggled mightily the past two seasons.The original plan was using Henry to give Murray a break and mix them both up.Turns out Murray really hasnt needed a breather much this season, never carrying more than 27 times in a game. Murray now has 1,043 yards on 229 carries and is averaging 4.6 yards per rush with eight touchdowns. Against Green Bay, Henry carried only nine times because Robiskie said the Titans thought Murray would break off another big run after going 75 yards on his first touch.Robiskie said Henry just has to wait for his time.Derricks going to be a good player, Robiskie said recently. I think hes going to be a good player for this organization for a long time. The best thing to me is hes sitting there watching a pro ... how to work during the week, how to take care of your body during the week, how to get stronger as the season gets longer ... When he gets in, hell be ready.So far, Henry has 70 carries for 312 yards with two touchdowns. His best game came Oct. 27 when he carried a career-best 16 times for 60 yards. Henry has shown off his hands catching nine passes for 107 yards. Its a workload thats far different from last year when he carried 395 times and ran for 28 touchdowns.Henry, whose locker is two down from Murrays, is trying to learn as much as he can. His biggest lesson yet? Work every day in meetings and in practice.Always be about business and come prepared to work and work hard, Henry said.Murray believes learning how to work in the NFL from veterans is beneficial to any young player. His role models in Dallas included Tony Romo and other veterans, but Murray only had his freshman season at Oklahoma to watch and learn how Adrian Peterson handled himself on and off the field.I would hope hes taking full advantage of all his resources, Murray said.Combined, Murray and Henry have the Titans (6-6) third in the NFL averaging 141.5 yards per game. Both could get plenty of work Sunday against a Denver defense ranked 28th in the league, giving up 122.8 yards.Titans coach Mike Mularkey said theyve tried to use Henry more. But Mularkey refuses to force the issue when only Ezekiel Elliott of Dallas has more yards rushing than Murray.Weve got a pretty good back. Hes one of the leaders in the NFL in rushing, Mularkey said. Im not going to change something good to appease anybody.So the Heisman winner has to be patient, prepare and stay ready until his number is called.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL.---Follow Teresa M.

Peyton Manning Jersey .Y. -- Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo had little trouble picking up his first shutout of the season against a Buffalo Sabres team thats having trouble scoring goals. Adam Colemans spring tour is over, with Wallabies coach Michael Cheika confirming the lineout general has suffered a grade tour medial ligament strain.Coleman suffered the injury early in Saturdays 23-22 victory over Scotland, when a ruck collapsed and he copped a knock to the left knee.The 25-year-old had scans on Saturday night, travelled with the team to Paris on Sunday and was hopeful of playing a part later in the tour but received the bad news on Monday morning.Obviously Adam has got an injury thats going to rule him out of the rest of the tour, theres no doubt about that, Cheika said in Paris.Well get him home and get him healed and then he can have a holiday before next season starts.His role in the starting lineup will likely be filled by the experienced Rob Simmons, while a host of squad members - including veteran Kane Douglas, the versatile Dean Mumm as well as fringe options Will Skelton and Sam Carter - could also benefit.But theres no doubting Colemans absence is a serious blow to Australias grand slam ambitions, with the rookie forming a devastating combination with fellow towering youngster Rorry Arnold in quick time this year.ddddddddddddColeman has also embraced the lineout calling and taken on a senior role within the team - but Cheika wanted to focus on having found a dynamic young locking combination, rather than lament losing him for the rest of the year.Its a bit of a shame for him because hes had a really good start to the year and hes worked his way through since June, Cheika added.In saying that it gives someone else an opportunity now.Theres two ways to look at it. Theres the discovery - weve been able to get these two guys playing good rugby and starting to improve at this level.Weve also got ourselves another very, very handy lineout caller and hes only in single digit Tests.(Coleman has) got a good future. Hes got to keep working on it, theres no doubt about that. He knows that.Hes disappointed but thats the way footy goes sometimes.Australia play France at Stade de France on Saturday (Sunday AEDT), before finishing off with Tests against Ireland and England.
