  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Chestnut agreed Wednesday with the Titans on a one-year deal, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The Sacred Heart product has inked a deal to return to Tennessee after taking 22 carries for 102 yards and catching two of his three targets for 11 yards across 17 games in 2024. Additionally, Chestnut played 225 special-teams snaps and tallied 337 kick-return yards. He's expected to play a similar role in 2025.

  Chestnut rushed the ball 22 times for 102 yards across 17 games during the 2024 season. He added two receptions on three targets for 11 yards. Chestnut served as Tennessee's third-string running back for most of the season, behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears (head). Chestnut did manage a career-high 22 carries, though his most significant step forward was his increased involvement on special teams, as he served as one of the team's primary kick returners and tallied 337 yards in the role.

• Titans' Julius Chestnut: Could be part of committee Week 18

  01/01/2025 • By RotoWire

  Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that Chestnut could be part of a backfield committee in Sunday's game against the Texans along with Joshua Kelley and practice-squad member Jabari Small, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports. Tyjae Spears (concussion) appears unlikely to play in the season finale, while starter Tony Pollard (ankle) sat out the Week 17 loss to the Jaguars and remains a limited participant in practice to begin Week 18 prep. Pollard could have extra motivation to try to play Sunday, as he's within reach of a few contract performance incentives. However, if Pollard and Spears are both sidelined Sunday, Chestnut would be the next man up, though he wouldn't necessarily take on a starter's workload if he does end up taking the Titans' first snap of the day. Chestnut has seen most of his playing time on special teams this season and has carried 20 times for 91 yards (4.6 YPC) to go with two catches for 11 yards on three targets over 16 appearances.

• Titans' Julius Chestnut: Quiet as backup

  11/25/2024 • By RotoWire

  Chestnut rushed the ball once for three yards in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Texans. He added one reception on one target for two yards. Chestnut was pushed into the backup running back role with Tyjae Spears (concussion) sidelined. However, he managed only two total touches and isn't likely to be a factor for fantasy purposes even if Spears remains sidelined for a Week 13 matchup against the Commanders.

Chestnut was limited for the Titans' final two practices of the week due to a foot injury, but it's not severe enough to prevent him from suiting up Sunday. Chestnut will be Tennessee's No. 3 running back behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears.
