Running back Derrick Henry looked ready for the regular season, leading the Tennessee Titans to a 21-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night at the newly renovated and freshly renamed Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Fla.
Henry rushed for 62 yards on seven carries and scored one touchdown for the Titans, who concluded their preseason schedule with a 3-1 record. Henry averaged nearly nine yards per carry and scored on a one-yard run on Tennessee's first possession.
Backup quarterback Brandon Doughty completed 8 of 12 passes for 98 yards for Miami, which went 2-2 in the preseason. Zac Dysert completed 10 of 16 passes for 85 yards with one interception.
Starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill did not play for Miami. Tennessee starter Marcus Mariota didn't play either.
Alex Tanney made good use of his opportunity with Mariota on the sideline. Tanney completed 17 of 20 passes for 168 yards for the Titans, although he was intercepted twice.
Antonio Andrews scored on a one-yard run to put Tennessee up 14-0 in the first quarter. Miami got on the scoreboard when Daniel Thomas ran for a touchdown early in the second quarter after an interception by Tanney gave the Dolphins the ball at Tennessee's 1-yard line.
The Titans extended their lead to 21-7 when Andrews scored on a four-yard run late in the first half. The Dolphins cut the deficit to 21-10 when Andrew Franks kicked a 39-yard field goal in the third quarter.
Tre McBride finished with five catches for 67 yards for Tennessee. Griff Whalen had five catches for 48 yards for Miami.
Before the game, the Dolphins announced that nine players, including three starters, would not dress for the game. In addition to Tannehill, the starters who were held out were wide receivers Kenny Stills and DeVante Parker and center Mike Pouncey.
The game was played at Hard Rock Stadium, which underwent a $500 million renovation during the offseason. The facility was formerly known as Joe Robbie Stadium, Pro Player Stadium and Sun Life Stadium.
