Tyjae Spears — Questionable

Spears is sitting out a second consecutive practice, which doesn't bode well for his availability Sunday against the Bengals considering he was unable to suit up for the Week 7 loss to Cleveland. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to avoid being ruled out on the Titans' subsequent injury report.

After he sat out last week's loss to the Browns, Spears' absence to kick off Week 8 prep doesn't inspire much early confidence in his chances of playing this weekend against the Bengals. Tony Pollard took on a workhorse role while Spears was sidelined in Week 7 and could be ticketed for another sizable workload if Spears needs to miss another game.

Beginning during Week 3 prep, Spears has experienced practice restrictions most weeks due to first an ankle injury and currently a knee issue. He's been able to suit up for each of the last four games but has played second fiddle to Tony Pollard out of the Titans backfield, turning eight carries and 11 catches (on as many targets) into 47 yards from scrimmage. Now that Spears is confirmed to be unavailable, though, the active RBs behind Pollard on Sunday are Julius Chestnut, Michael Carter and Kalel Mullings.

Spears has been a mainstay on the Titans' injury report over the past few weeks due to ankle and knee issues. He put together a DNP-FP-LP practice log during Week 7 prep, but he has yet to miss a regular-season game. That said, Spears has seen minimal usage on offense this season, and his role figures to be limited unless lead back Tony Pollard were to miss time.

Spears had made appearances on Titans injury reports in three of the past four weeks due to ankle and knee concerns, but his absence to begin Week 7 prep was just a planned maintenance day. The fourth-year back should be ready to go for the Titans' next game against the Browns on Sunday, when he'll handle a change-of-pace role behind lead runner Tony Pollard.

An explanation for Spears' absence won't be known until the Titans post their first Week 7 injury report later Wednesday, but the running back had previously been listed with ankle and knee issues over the last few weeks. He's managed to play in all six of the Titans' games to date, but he's played fewer than half of the offensive snaps in the last five of those contests while accounting for 54 yards on 15 carries and 63 yards on 13 receptions. He looks like he'll have to settle for a low-usage change-of-pace role so long as lead back Tony Pollard is available.

Spears was dealing with a knee injury throughout the week before ultimately being active in Week 6. The running back registered a season-low two touches in the contest, and he has now compiled 13 rushing yards on eight carries over the last four games combined. Spears will continue to be an unappealing fantasy option as a long as starting running back Tony Pollard is available for Tennessee.

Spears drew the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC South showdown after logging a full practice Friday, and the fourth-year running back has been cleared by medical staff to suit up against Indianapolis. He has 17 carries for 65 yards and 14 catches (on 16 targets) for 68 yards through five regular-season games while serving as the Titans' RB2 behind Tony Pollard.

After being limited Wednesday and then sitting out Thursday's practice, Spears now carries a questionable tag into the weekend. He returned to full participation Friday, which suggests he's on track to be active ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Spears is trending in the wrong direction, as he was unable to practice in any capacity Thursday after being listed as limited Wednesday. Meanwhile, lead back Tony Pollard ramped back up to full participation Thursday after receiving a rest day Wednesday. Spears is coming off a nine-catch performance in the Week 5 loss to Houston, but he may not get a chance to capitalize on Sunday's matchup against a Colts defense that's allowing a league-high 52.8 receiving yards per game to running backs.

Spears previously appeared on Titans injury reports in Weeks 3 and 4 due to an ankle issue, but he's tending to a different lower-body concern heading into Sunday's matchup with the Colts. So long as he's able to upgrade to full participation by the end of the week, Spears should be ready to handle his usual complementary role behind starting running back Tony Pollard on Sunday.

Spears put the ball on the ground on his first carry of the day in the first quarter, and the fumble was recovered by Texans cornerback Jalen Pitre. The running back had only one more rush on the day, but he was able to make his mark as a pass catcher, leading the team while reeling in a career-high nine passes. Spears has now turned 17 carries into 65 yards while catching 14 of 16 targets for 68 yards over five contests this season.

Spears played a total of 23 offensive snaps, which was behind starter Tony Pollard (34) and ahead of rookie Nicholas Singleton (eight). Still, Spears' three touches were far behind Pollard's 20 (16 carries, four catches), while Singleton ended up with one more carry than Spears. It looks like Spears will have a tough time seeing a sizable and consistent workload in Titans offensive game plans unless Pollard were to miss time, though the veteran running back is a name to watch ahead of the trade deadline due to him being in the final year of his contract, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Tennessee will face Houston in Week 5, with both teams looking to earn their first win of the 2026 season.

While managing the ankle injury, Spears managed just one full practice this week and took a questionable tag into Sunday, but he looks like he'll be available to handle his usual No. 2 role behind Tony Pollard. Through Tennessee's first three games, Spears has carried 13 times for 58 yards (4.5 YPC) to go with four receptions for 41 yards on six targets.

Spears was able to play through his ankle injury last Sunday at the Giants, and while he earned a 47 percent snap share, he mustered just three carries for five yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game. Fellow RB Tony Pollard handled the other 53 percent and turned his 21 touches into 96 yards from scrimmage. Considering Spears progressed from DNP on Wednesday to limited Thursday and full Friday, he appears set to serve in a similar role alongside Pollard on Sunday, assuming the former is active.

Despite Spears upgrading to a full practice Friday, the Titans aren't yet ready to clear him for Sunday's contest. It would still be somewhat of a shock if he didn't play after coach Robert Saleh has said all week he's optimistic Spears can go versus Baltimore. The running back has minimal fantasy appeal in the Tennessee offense behind clear lead back Tony Pollard.

Spears got in a limited practice Thursday after being held out Wednesday, and while he "still has some hurdles to clear," according to Saleh, there's a good chance he's available Sunday. Spears has handled just 13 carries for 58 yards through three appearances this season, and he's caught four of six targets for an additional 41 yards.

In addition to being stuck behind Tony Pollard on the depth chart, Spears also is the less healthy of Tennessee's top two running backs, as Pollard returned to practice without limitations Thursday after both sat out Wednesday. Spears played through a questionable designation against the Giants in Week 3 but handled just three touches. Barring an upgrade to full participation Friday, Spears looks likely to remain questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Tennessee's top two running backs sat out Wednesday's practice, but both Spears and Pollard are expected to resume practicing Thursday. Spears' ankle injury also hindered his practice participation leading up to this past Sunday's loss against the Giants, during which Spears handled only three touches. The change-of-pace running back can typically be expected to garner a touch count in the high single digits, though that number could climb higher if Spears gets close to full health and Pollard's foot injury limits Tennessee's lead back Sunday in Baltimore.

Coach Robert Saleh said there's no concern about Spears' availability for Sunday's game against Baltimore. Spears and Tony Pollard are dealing with ankle injuries and will be listed as DNP on Wednesday, but both are expected to be fine for Week 4. Spears rushed just three times for five yards last Sunday against the Giants and wasn't targeted in the passing game. Pollard handled 21 total opportunities, making Spears nothing more than a bench stash in fantasy.
