Titans' Tyjae Spears: Strong showing as pass catcher
Tyjae Spears rushed the ball four times for five yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Bengals. He added six receptions on seven targets for 87 yards and an additional score.Spears has been surprisingly uninvolved in the Tennessee offense for much of the season, though he exploded for a big showing Sunday. He finished off the team's second possession with a one-yard touchdown leap, his only impact as a rusher in the game. However, Spears produced very well as a pass catcher with Mason Rudolph under center and the Tennessee Titans chasing points in the fourth quarter, highlighted by a long gain of 43 yards as well as a 17-yard touchdown reception. Tony Pollard remains the lead back, though Spears may have be able to carve out a more significant role across the final four games of the season.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Questionable after full practice
Tyjae Spears (concussion) was a full participant in practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders.Spears closed out the week with back-to-back full practices, but he'll still need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and return from a one-game absence Sunday against Washington. Per Jim Wyatt of the Tennessee Titans' official site, coach Brian Callahan relayed Friday that Spears is expected to clear concussion protocol later in the day. Tony Pollard should continue to function as the top option in Tennessee's backfield, but if Spears suits up, Spears' change-of-pace role could prove fruitful against a Commanders defense that has allowed a league-high 1,449 rushing yards to running backs.
