He'd have to have this season another 2 times to give himself a chance. Not happening.
Facts.

Emmitt's record always looks doable when brehs are around the 10k/12k mark. Those last 6k to 8k yards are tough because you're usually 30+ and RBs tend to fall off dramatically in their 30s.

Flip side? Henry has only 2,355 carries and 174 receptions over his career.

Emmitt finished with 4,409 carries and 515 receptions. Emmitt basically had 5,000 touches while Henry is around half that total (only including regular season for both). So....Henry could be a lot fresher at this age than Emmitt was, but Emmitt also avoided A LOT more hits than Henry has. I wouldn't be shocked if he broke the record but it's not really going to get serious until he breaks 15k yards.

Let’s see if they actually try to run the ball in the playoffs this year.
