• Titans' Tony Pollard: Heavy workload against NE

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Pollard rushed the ball 28 times for 128 yards in Sunday's 29-17 overtime win against the Patriots. He added three receptions on three targets for 26 yards. Pollard entered Sunday's game questionable due to a foot injury after failing to practice in any capacity throughout the week. That was hardly apparent in Sunday's win, as he dominated rushing attempts out of the Titans' backfield and was also efficient with the opportunity. He accounted for the team's longest play from scrimmage with a 32-yard rush on Tennessee's first possession, setting up a touchdown on the next play. Overall, four of Pollard's 28 carries went for double-digit gains, and he narrowly missed out on an even bigger performance after having a touchdown nullified by a holding call. He should remain a key playmaker in Tennessee's offense moving forward.

• Titans' Tony Pollard: Playing through foot injury

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Pollard is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Pollard appeared to be trending toward an absence, as he failed to practice in any capacity throughout the week. However, he tested his foot in pregame warmups and is feeling well enough to suit up. Assuming his foot holds up, he should see a heavy dose of touches considering the ongoing absence of Tyjae Spears (hamstring), though both Julius Chestnut and Joshua Kelley are available to spell Pollard if required.

• Titans' Tony Pollard: Trending toward playing Sunday

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Pollard will test his injured foot prior to Sunday's game against New England, though the Titans "feel good" about him and "anticipate he will play," Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports. Pollard didn't practice at all this week, but he was nonetheless deemed questionable heading into the weekend. The fact that fellow running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Sunday makes Pollard's status more consequential for Tennessee, though the team did sign RB Joshua Kelley to the active roster off the practice squad Saturday. Julius Chestnut is the only other healthy running back on the roster.

• Titans' Tony Pollard: Status up in air for Week 9

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Pollard (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Patriots. Pollard didn't practice at all this week due to a foot injury, but the Titans are giving him a chance to play Sunday. The reasoning may be that fellow RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game, leaving Julius Chestnut as the lone healthy running back on the active roster and Joshua Kelley as a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad. Pollard's status will be clarified no later than 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

• Titans' Tony Pollard: Sits out second straight practice

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Pollard (foot) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports. Pollard's absence from practice for a second straight day due to the foot injury clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots. The Titans will see what, if anything, Pollard is able to do during Friday's session before determining his availability for the Week 9 contest. Pollard has taken on at least 18 touches in each of Tennessee's last four games, but if the foot issue keeps him out against New England or if he's available to take on only a limited workload, Tyjae Spears (hamstring), Julius Chestnut and practice-squad member Joshua Kelley would be candidates to take on more work out of the backfield.
