Spears (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest versus the Patriots.

Spears followed up a limited practice Wednesday with no work Thursday and Friday, which was enough for the Titans to rule him out for a third straight contest. Meanwhile, starting RB Tony Pollard (foot) didn't log any activity this week but is listed as questionable for Sunday. If Pollard doesn't play, Julius Chestnut will be the favorite to lead Tennessee's backfield, with Joshua Kelley likely getting called up from the practice squad for a backup role.
