Titans' Tyjae Spears: Ready to return to action
Tyjae Spears (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at the Chargers.Sidelined since injuring his hamstring Week 6 against the Colts, Spears put himself in a position to return to action with back-to-back full sessions to end Week 10 prep. He'll thus be available Sunday behind the Tennessee Titans' No. 1 RB Tony Pollard (foot), who followed a LP-DNP-LP practice regimen this week but also doesn't carry a designation into the weekend. Prior to his three-game absence, Spears averaged 9.0 touches for 38.0 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring one rushing TD in five outings this season.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Looks ready for Week 10
Tyjae Spears (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessee Titans' official site reports.Spears has been sidelined for each of the Titans' last three games with a hamstring injury, but his ability to take every rep Thursday suddenly makes him the healthiest running back of the top three options on the team's depth chart. Starter Tony Pollard (foot) downgraded from limited participation Wednesday to no activity Thursday, while third-string back Julius Chestnut (foot) was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant. The status of Pollard heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers is of greater import to Spears, who could find himself in a three-down role this weekend if Pollard is forced to miss his first game of the season. When he was available for the Titans' first six games, Spears had filled a complementary role behind Pollard and averaged 5.5 carries and 2.0 targets per contest during that stretch.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Won't return Sunday
Tyjae 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 Tennessee 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.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Misses Thursday's practice
Tyjae Spears (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessee Titans' official site reports.Spears was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, so his downgrade in participation a day later is concerning. Meanwhile, Tony Pollard has missed consecutive practices with a foot injury, leaving Julius Chestnut as the healthiest RB on the Titans' active roster, while Joshua Kelley and Jabari Small currently are on the team's practice squad. In any case, Friday's injury report will add valuable context with regard to the composition of Tennessee's backfield ahead of Sunday game against the Patriots.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Limited practice Wednesday
Tyjae Spears (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessee Titans' official site reports.Spears has missed the Titans' last two games, but head coach Brian Callahan noted Wednesday that the running back "should be good to go" Sunday against the Patriots, per Wyatt. While Spears seemingly has a good chance to play this weekend, it's notable that fellow running back Tony Pollard missed Wednesday' session with a foot injury. The activity of both of the Titans' top two running backs will thus warrant monitoring over the next two days before Tennessee determines whether either or both carries an injury designation into Sunday's game.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Remains limited Thursday
Tyjae Spears (hamstring) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessee Titans' official site reports.Spears injured his hamstring during the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Colts. He was unable to practice all of last week which led to him being sidelined for Week 7 against the Bills, but the 2023 third-round pick managed to return to practice Wednesday. The fact that Spears has been able to participate in back-to-back practices to open the week is a positive trend, and Friday's injury report should provide a better idea of whether he'll be able to play Sunday against the Lions. If Spears cannot play, Julius Chestnut would serve as the Titans' backup running back Sunday while Tony Pollard serves in a lead role.
