Titans' Tyjae Spears: Two touches in win
Spears rushed once for one yard while reeling in his only target for seven yards during Sunday's 26-20 win over Indianapolis.
Spears was dealing with a knee injury throughout the week before ultimately being active in Week 6. The running back registered a season-low two touches in the contest, and he has now compiled 13 rushing yards on eight carries over the last four games combined. Spears will continue to be an unappealing fantasy option as a long as starting running back Tony Pollard is available for Tennessee.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Cleared to play vs. Indianapolis
Spears (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Spears drew the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC South showdown after logging a full practice Friday, and the fourth-year running back has been cleared by medical staff to suit up against Indianapolis. He has 17 carries for 65 yards and 14 catches (on 16 targets) for 68 yards through five regular-season games while serving as the Titans' RB2 behind Tony Pollard.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Listed as questionable
Spears (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.
After being limited Wednesday and then sitting out Thursday's practice, Spears now carries a questionable tag into the weekend. He returned to full participation Friday, which suggests he's on track to be active ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Sits out practice Thursday
Spears (knee) didn't practice Thursday.
Spears is trending in the wrong direction, as he was unable to practice in any capacity Thursday after being listed as limited Wednesday. Meanwhile, lead back Tony Pollard ramped back up to full participation Thursday after receiving a rest day Wednesday. Spears is coming off a nine-catch performance in the Week 5 loss to Houston, but he may not get a chance to capitalize on Sunday's matchup against a Colts defense that's allowing a league-high 52.8 receiving yards per game to running backs.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Limited reps to begin Week 6
Spears was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.
Spears previously appeared on Titans injury reports in Weeks 3 and 4 due to an ankle issue, but he's tending to a different lower-body concern heading into Sunday's matchup with the Colts. So long as he's able to upgrade to full participation by the end of the week, Spears should be ready to handle his usual complementary role behind starting running back Tony Pollard on Sunday.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Nine catches in defeat
Spears rushed twice for no gain and lost a fumble while catching all nine of his targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans.
Spears put the ball on the ground on his first carry of the day in the first quarter, and the fumble was recovered by Texans cornerback Jalen Pitre. The running back only had one more rush on the day, but he was able to make his mark as a pass-catcher, leading the team while reeling in a career-high nine passes. Spears has now turned 17 carries into 65 yards while catching 14 of 16 targets for 68 yards over five contests this season.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Totals six yards in Week 4 loss
Spears turned two carries into seven yards and hauled in his lone target for minus-one yard during the Titans' 24-18 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Spears played a total of 23 offensive snaps Sunday, which was behind starter Tony Pollard (34) and rookie Nicholas Singleton (eight). Still, Spears' three touches were far behind Pollard's 20 (16 carries, four catches), while Singleton ended up with one more carry than Spears. It looks like Spears will have a tough time seeing a sizable and consistent workload in the Titans' offensive gameplan unless Pollard were to miss time, though the veteran running back is a name to watch ahead of the trade deadline due to him being in the final year of his contract, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Tennessee will face Houston in Week 5, with both teams looking to earn their first win of the 2026 season.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Good to go Sunday
Spears (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
While managing the ankle injury, Spears managed just one full practice this week and took a questionable tag into Sunday, but he looks like he'll be available to handle his usual No. 2 role behind Tony Pollard. Through Tennessee's first three games, Spears has carried 13 times for 58 yards (4.5 YPC) to go with four receptions for 41 yards on six targets.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: In line to play in Week 4
Spears (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore, is slated to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Spears was able to play through his ankle injury last Sunday at the Giants, and while he earned a 47 percent snap share, he mustered just three carries for five yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game. Fellow RB Tony Pollard handled the other 53 percent and turned his 21 touches into 96 yards from scrimmage. Considering Spears progressed from DNP on Wednesday to limited Thursday and full Friday, he appears set to serve in a similar role alongside Pollard on Sunday, assuming the former is active.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Questionable for Week 4
Spears (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Despite Spears upgrading to a full practice Friday, the Titans aren't yet ready to clear him for Sunday's contest. It would still be somewhat of a shock if he didn't play after coach Robert Saleh has said all week he's optimistic Spears can go versus Baltimore. The running back has minimal fantasy appeal in this Tennessee offense behind clear lead back Tony Pollard.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Looking good for Week 4
Head coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Spears (ankle) is trending in the right direction to play Sunday against the Ravens, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Spears got in a limited practice Thursday after being held out Wednesday, and while he "still has some hurdles to clear," according to Saleh, there's a good chance he's available Sunday. Spears has handled just 13 carries for 58 yards through three appearances this season, and he's caught four of six targets for an additional 41 yards.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Limited participant Thursday
Spears (ankle) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
In addition to being stuck behind Tony Pollard on the depth chart, Spears is also the less healthy of Tennessee's top two running backs, as Pollard returned to practice without limitations Thursday after both sat out Wednesday. Spears played through a questionable designation against the Giants in Week 3 but handled just three touches. Barring an upgrade to full participation Friday, Spears looks likely to remain questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Expected to practice Thursday
Spears (ankle) and Tony Pollard (foot) will both practice Thursday, per head coach Robert Saleh, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Tennessee's top two running backs both sat out Wednesday's practice, but Spears and Pollard are both expected to resume practicing Thursday. Spears' ankle injury also hindered his practice participation leading up to this past Sunday's loss against the Giants, during which Spears handled only three touches. The change-of-pace running back can typically be expected to garner a touch count in the high single digits, though that number could climb higher if Spears gets close to full health and Pollard's foot injury limits Tennessee's lead back Sunday in Baltimore.

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.
