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.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Plays with starters after Pollard
Spears rushed twice for two yards and caught all three of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 19-16 preseason win over the Seahawks.
Spears featured on Tennessee's second and third drives with the starters after Tony Pollard turned three touches into 45 scrimmage yards on the team's opening possession. Pollard is expected to lead the backfield once again, but Spears should get his fair share of touches in a prominent change-of-pace role. Spears has 383 combined carries and targets in 42 regular-season appearances through three years in the NFL for a career average of 9.1 touches per game on offense.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Efficient with five touches
Spears rushed four times for 35 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the Titans' 19-13 preseason win over the 49ers on Thursday.
Spears finished second in rushing yards for the Titans on the night behind Julius Chestnut, and the former showed no signs of the soreness and irritation that caused an early exit from practice on Friday. Spears has a chance to make a case for the top running back job currently held by Tony Pollard, but barring any unforeseen developments or injury, it appears likely the latter will continue relegating Spears to a complementary role to begin the 2026 season.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Exits practice early Friday
Spears is dealing with some soreness and irritation, which caused him to depart practice early Friday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
There's no indication Spears is dealing with anything serious, but he may be held out of practice until his current soreness subsides. The 25-year-old is expected to serve as Tennessee's No. 2 RB this season, and the could be more of a "1B" to starter Tony Pollard than a pure backup. Spears has 1,048 regular-season rushing yards and 873 receiving yards through three NFL campaigns, so he has the potential to make an impact in fantasy as a dual-threat asset.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Stock trending up
Spears has impressed throughout the Titans' offseason program and strengthened his hold on the No. 2 running back role behind Tony Pollard, Bryce W. Lazenby of SI.com reports.
Spears at one point appeared at risk of falling down the depth chart entering 2026, but new head coach Robert Saleh has consistently praised the 2023 third-round pick this spring. Lazenby reports that Spears is working to improve his pass-catching this offseason and could operate more as a "1B" behind Pollard than a traditional backup. He managed just 72 carries for 283 yards and two touchdowns across 13 games in 2025, though an improved Titans offensive line could benefit both Spears and Pollard this season. Tennessee selected Nicholas Singleton in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, so Spears will face additional competition in training camp.
