Titans' Tyjae Spears: Won't practice Wednesday
Spears (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Coach Robert Saleh said there's no concern about Spears' availability for Sunday's game against Baltimore. Spears and Tony Pollard are dealing with ankle injuries and will be listed as DNP on Wednesday, but both are expected to be fine for Week 4. Spears rushed just three times for five yards last Sunday against the Giants and wasn't targeted in the passing game. Pollard handled 21 total opportunities, making Spears nothing more than a bench stash in fantasy.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Sees little action in Week 3 loss
Spears (ankle) turned three carries into five yards during the Titans' 12-7 loss to the Giants on Sunday.
The lack of offensive touches are likely due to an ankle injury that Spears aggravated during Sunday's loss. The fourth-year running back was cleared to return, but his carries were well behind backfield mate Tony Pollard (17), with Spears not seeing a target from Cam Ward. Spears' ankle issue is worth monitoring heading into Week 4 against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 4, as his absence would open up the door to playing time for rookie fifth-rounder Nicholas Singleton.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Iffy to return due to ankle
Spears (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Heading into Sunday, Spears was listed as questionable with the same injury but was ultimately cleared to suit up. However, he appears to be dealing with an aggravation of the injury that now muddles his availability for the remainder of the contest. Spears carried twice for five yards and didn't draw a target prior to his departure.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Active Sunday
Spears (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at the Giants, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
The Titans backfield hosted two injuries this week, and while Tony Pollard (ankle) got back to a full practice Friday, Spears logged only one limited session (also Friday) and ended up listed as questionable for Week 3 action. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Sunday morning that Tennessee were set to monitor Spears pregame, with rainy and windy conditions likely to play a role in whether or not to make the running back active. Now that Spears is available to the offense, it's unclear if he'll merely be available in case of emergency, with Pollard and potentially rookie fifth-rounder Nicholas Singleton handling most of the RB reps.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Uncertain about active status
Spears (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, will be monitored pregame, but the Titans are hopeful he'll be able to play, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Spears managed just one limited session (Friday) this week due to an ankle injury that left him questionable for Sunday, but rainy and windy conditions at MetLife Stadium seemingly will be a factor in the decision surrounding the running back. If Spears is inhibited or sidelined, Tony Pollard would serve as the Titans' unquestioned lead runner, with rookie fifth-rounder Nicholas Singleton likely stepping into the No. 2 role.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Listed questionable for Sunday
Spears (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.
Spears returned to practice Friday as a limited participant after sitting out the previous two days. Tony Pollard, meanwhile, upgraded to full participation at the end of the week and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game. Even if Spears ends up playing, he won't have much fantasy appeal when he's the less healthy of two RBs in a backfield that hasn't been productive so far. The Titans and Giants are schedule for an early kickoff Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Limited in Friday's practice
Spears (ankle) was listed as limited for Friday's practice, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider reports.
Spears didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but a return to limited participation at the end of the week suggests he has a shot to play this Sunday against Cleveland. Fellow Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) is upgrading to full participation Friday, so he appears ready to start and take most of the carries.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Absent from practice Thursday
Spears (ankle) wasn't seen on the field during the open portion of Thursday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.
Fellow running back Tony Pollard (ankle) was back on the field Thursday, but Spears looks to be trending toward a second straight missed practice while he contends with a sore ankle. Spears' status for Sunday's game against the Giants will become clearer when Friday's injury report is released.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Recovering from sore ankle
Spears was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.
The Titans' top two running backs are both managing sore ankles to begin Week 3 prep, as Tony Pollard was also sidelined for Wednesday's session. Head coach Robert Saleh didn't indicate that either back is at major risk of sitting out Sunday's game against the Giants, but Spears will nonetheless need to upgrade to full practice participation by Friday to avoid taking an injury designation into the weekend.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Sitting out practice Wednesday
Titans head coach Robert Saleh said that Spears won't practice Wednesday due to unspecified soreness, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Tony Pollard is also dealing with soreness and will sit out Wednesday's session, but Saleh didn't provide any further specifics about either running back's injury. Though Pollard sits atop the depth chart, Spears has seen a fair amount of work in a change-of-pace role. Through the Titans' first two games, Spears has logged 53 yards on 10 carries to go with four receptions for 41 yards on six targets.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Logs 70 yards against Philadelphia
Spears turned seven carries into 41 yards and brought in both of his targets for 29 yards during the Titans' 24-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Spears was on the field for only 19 of the Titans' 53 offensive snaps (35.8 percent) and saw noticeably less playing time than lead back Tony Pollard (29 snaps). That said, Spears managed to accumulate 70 yards on nine touches, his most yards in a game since Week 16 of the 2025 season against the Chiefs (105). The fourth-year pro also helped the Titans take the lead late with a 27-yard carry on third-and-22, ultimately leading to a 33-yard field goal from Joey Slye four plays later. The Titans will hit the road for the first time this season Week 3 against the Giants.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Totals 24 yards in Week 1 loss
Spears rushed three times for 12 yards and caught two of four targets for an additional 12 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Jets.
Tony Pollard narrowly out-snapped Spears, 26-25, in the season opener, as the former out-carried Spears seven to three in what was a decidedly negative game script for the Titans. Spears out-targeted his backfield mate four to two and ran 14 routes to Pollard's seven. This looks like a pretty even split, but it'll be tough for either back to produce weekly fantasy reliability in one of the league's worst offenses with a swinging-gate offensive line.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Role seemingly unchanged from 2025
Spears is among the four running backs that made the Titans' initial 53-man roster.
Based on preseason usage, Spears is firmly entrenched as the team's top alternative to Tony Pollard in the backfield. Spears produced 536 scrimmage yards in 2024 and 547 scrimmage yards in 2025 while filling such a role. His 838-yard rookie season in 2023 came prior to Pollard's arrival in Tennessee. Rookie fifth-round pick Nicholas Singleton didn't show anything during preseason action that would indicate he's an immediate threat to Spears' role, while Julius Chestnut is likely ticketed for a role on special teams.
