NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans rookie running back Derrick Henry left a lasting impression in Thursdays practice.The 2015 Heisman Trophy winner took a handoff from Marcus Mariota, hit the hole, then lowered his shoulder and knocked linebacker Nate Palmer, who was trying to make the stop.Thats a real play, Titans coach Mike Mularkey said. Hes going to move the pile, whoevers in the way better get out of the way. Some of the things he did out here with some of the cuts where he broke it to the outside, he had speed to get away from some of our outside guys, which again was a real play in practice so its good to see.Thats the Derrick Henry everyone knows and expects to be part of the Titans offense this season.But the second-round pick has worked hard to show that he is more than just a cut-and-go running back.Henry aspires not only to be a threat running the football, but also catching passes and protecting quarterbacks. Being able to do more than just run between the tackles would put the rookie in a better position to stay on the field for more snaps as he backs up DeMarco Murray.With Murray expected to only see limited action in Saturdays preseason opener against the San Diego Chargers, Henry could get an extended chance to show off his skills with the first team, which means being able to handle whatever role is called.Its very important (to be a complete back), Henry said. Thats what I want to be known as. Thats why Im working hard to get better every day. I work on catching the ball, running the ball and pass protection just so I can become a complete back.Henry wasnt asked to do much receiving at Alabama, where he won the Heisman and helped the Crimson Tide win the 2015 national championship. Henry caught 11 passes last season and totaled 17 receptions in his three years at Alabama. But the Titans have shown a willingness to be more creative by splitting him out wide in certain packages.Hes done well in all the areas, Titans running backs coach Sylvester Croom said. Hes got to get better in all of them, but we havent put any limitations on him. We expect him to be good in all those areas. Hes working toward that. He hasnt put any limitations on himself. Hes been willing to learn, and he learns very fast.He has good hands. If fact, he dropped one pass in the offseason and he hasnt dropped any in camp so far.How good are Henrys receiving skills? When the Titans practiced Monday in their intra-squad scrimmage at Nissan Stadium, Henry was one of several players in line to field kickoffs in pregame warmups. He didnt drop one.Although he didnt get to show much of his versatility in college, Henry is confident he can contribute when his number is called as a pass receiver.I definitely want to be a threat in the passing game and catch the ball out of the backfield, he said.---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLVapormax Herre Zalando .

McPhee said that Ovechkins father Mikhail is in stable condition after having the surgery this week and is no longer in intensive care. "Weve told him to stay as long as necessary with your dad," he said. Ovechkin and his Russian national team were eliminated from the mens hockey tournament in Sochi on Wednesday with a 3-1 quarter-final loss to Finland.Hull boss Steve Bruce insists his players will give no thought to the estimated £200m winners prize up for grabs in Saturdays Sky Bet Championship play-off final against Sheffield Wednesday once out on the pitch.Bruce is one game away from guiding the Tigers straight back to the Premier League after relegation last season and ranks it as one of the biggest in his career as either player or manager.The jackpot for Championship winners has risen dramatically in recent years but Bruce says performing on the biggest stage and not the huge potential windfall is what motivates his players. This of course ranks up with the biggest for a long, long time because of whats at stake, Bruce told the media at the KC Stadium on Tuesday ahead of Saturdays game, which can be seen live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 4pm.If you can get into the Premier League now, it can really secure your club with the amount of money which is washing about, its quite unbelievable.So for a club like us, it would make a big difference. But the one thing about a footballer, the ones Ive got used to, the one thing they dont worry about when they go on to a pitch is money.All this its a £200m game... for them, its to perform on the biggest stage and whos going to be the hero if there is going to be one.Bruce won promotion to the top flight twice with former club Birmingham, once via the play-offs, and steered Hull to automatic promotion to the Premier League at the end of his first season in charge in 2013.No other manager has achieved four promotions to the Premier League.When asked how he will handle the pressure, Bruce said: You wake up on the Saturday morning and you put yourself into action. You start. Its part of what you do. Highlights of Hulls 1-0 win over Bristol City in the 2008 Championship play-off final Ive been fortunate, near enough to 1,000 (games) as a player and something like 800 as a manager and in among that lot Ive had a few big games.ddddddddddddIts a huge game for obvious reasons and over the years the play-offs have been dramatic and have they been going for 30 years now someone told me? I was shocked at that.Theyve made the end of the season a truly great spectacle so big game, big occasion and you can obviously detect that when you see everybody here in the room.Bruce also guided Hull to the FA Cup final in 2014 when they lost 3-2 to Arsenal and hopes his players can call on their big-game experience. Highlights of Hulls 3-0 semi-final first-leg win at Derby in the Championship playoffs Weve got a squad that has been there before in the last couple of years, lets hope thats a bit of an advantage, he added.Weve got some good players and lets hope we can achieve what we want to achieve.Bruce, who admitted he had not heard of Sheffield Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal before this season, said the Portuguese had put together the South Yorkshire clubs best side that he could remember.The Tigers boss also confirmed goalkeeper Allan McGregor (back) will not recover in time but every other outfield player was fit and in contention.Watch Hull City against Sheffield Wednesday in the Sky Bet Championship play-off final on Saturday, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 4pm.Also See:WATCH: Leeds 0-3 WatfordWATCH: Blackpool 3-2 CardiffHull scrape past brave DerbyGet a £10 free bet!
