Titans' Tony Pollard: Back to full participation Thursday
Rotowire
Pollard (foot) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Pollard has missed some practice time in recent weeks, including Wednesday's session, but he has been handling full workloads in games and is averaging 61 scrimmage yards per game this season while having scored his first touchdown of the season in this past Sunday's loss to the Ravens. He's set to continue leading Tennessee's backfield Sunday against the Texans in a clash between winless AFC South teams.

Titans' Tony Pollard: RBs to Sit
Rotowire
Pollard has been great in each of the past two games against the Giants and Ravens with at least 13 PPR points in each outing. But this might be his toughest matchup to date against the Texans in Week 5. While Houston struggled in Week 4 against Javonte Williams, who scored 31.3 PPR points, the Texans have held James Cook, Chase Brown and Jonathan Taylor to 11.2 PPR points or less in every other game. Pollard combined for 16.2 PPR points in two games against Houston in 2025, and I would only use him as a flex option in the majority of leagues in Week 5.

Titans' Tony Pollard: Does not practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Pollard (foot) did not practice Wednesday.
Pollard dealt with a foot issue that limited his participation in practice last week, but the veteran still played against the Ravens. He may be on a similar trajectory going into Week 5. Pollard was able to log a full practice Thursday going into Week 4. The Titans host the Texans on Sunday.

Titans' Tony Pollard: Finds end zone in Week 4 loss
Rotowire
Pollard carried the ball 16 times for 48 yards and a touchdown while catching two of four targets for two yards in Sunday's 24-18 loss to the Ravens.
The veteran RB found the end zone for the first time this season, punching the ball home from three yards out in the first quarter. Pollard has seen at least 15 touches in three straight games, putting together 186 rushing yards on 4.0 yards per carry while adding a 7-25-0 line on nine targets as he reclaims the No. 1 job in the Titans backfield. He'll look to build on this performance in a Week 5 home game against the Texans.

Titans' Tony Pollard: Returns to full participation Thursday
Rotowire
Pollard (foot) practiced without limitations Thursday.
It looks like Wednesday's missed practice was just a maintenance day for Pollard, who handled a season-high 21 touches in the Week 3 loss to the Giants after also sitting out practice the Wednesday preceding that game. Pollard continues to work ahead of Tyjae Spears (ankle), who was limited Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice. Barring a setback, Pollard is poised to head into Sunday's game at Baltimore without an injury designation.

Titans' Tony Pollard: RBs to Sit
Rotowire
Pollard had his best game of the season in Week 3 at the Giants with 17 carries for 74 yards and four catches for 22 yards on four targets. I'm hopeful we see more of that moving forward, especially his role in the passing game, but Pollard benefited against the Giants with Tyjae Spears dealing with an injured ankle. The Ravens have struggled so far against Jonathan Taylor in Week 1 and Javonte Williams in Week 3, but I'm not expecting a big performance from Pollard in this game on the road. He's a flex option at best in all formats.

Titans' Tony Pollard: Nursing foot issue
Rotowire
Pollard was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury.
Pollard appeared on the Titans' Week 3 injury report due to ankle issue, but he's tending to a different health concern in Week 4. Even so, head coach Robert Saleh told Turron Davenport of ESPN.com earlier Wednesday that he doesn't think the injury is anything that will affect Pollard's status for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Through the Titans' first three games, Pollard has yet to record a touchdown and has carried 38 times for 173 yards while adding six receptions for 22 yards on seven targets.

Titans' Tony Pollard: Won't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Pollard (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Coach Robert Saleh said neither Pollard nor Spears will practice Wednesday, but there's no concern about their availability for Sunday's game against Baltimore. Pollard rushed 17 times for 74 yards against the Giants last Sunday and added four catches for 22 yards on four targets. Playing in a bad Tennessee offense, Pollard doesn't have much of a fantasy ceiling.

Titans' Tony Pollard: Sleeper RBs
Rotowire
I started the week not loving Pollard, and he could still struggle in Week 3 at the Giants. After all, this is the Titans. But Tyjae Spears (ankle) is banged up, and the Giants have allowed a running back to score at least 13.7 PPR points in each of the first two games against Dallas (Javonte Williams) and the Rams (Kyren Williams). In Week 2, Williams and Blake Corum combined for 24 carries for 164 yards and three catches for 25 yards and a touchdown on three targets. Pollard is actually averaging 4.7 yards per carry in two games against the Jets and Eagles with 21 carries for 99 yards, but he has no touchdowns and just two catches for no yards on three targets. Spears is expected to play in Week 3, but Pollard is worth using as a flex.

Titans' Tony Pollard: Set to avoid injury tag
Rotowire
Pollard (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants after returning to a full practice Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Tyjae Spears, on the other hand, is listed as questionable due to an ankle injury of his own. Neither running back has been of much use to fantasy managers this season, but Pollard would at least get a significant projection boost if Spears were to land on the inactive list ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Titans' Tony Pollard: Will practice fully Friday
Rotowire
Pollard (ankle) will be a full participant in Friday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
With Pollard progressing from a non-participant Wednesday to limited Thursday and now full Friday, he'll likely be ready for Sunday's matchup with the Giants. Backfield mate Tyjae Spears (ankle) is expected to be a limited participant Friday, so he may be in a bit more danger of limitations or an absence this week.

Titans' Tony Pollard: Limited in return to practice
Rotowire
Pollard (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Both Pollard and Tyjae Spears sat out the Titans' first Week 3 practice Wednesday while tending to sore ankles, but the former was able to log some reps a day later, while the latter remained a non-participant. Pollard thus appears to be in a better spot on the health front of the two running backs, potentially setting him up to handle a workhorse role in Sunday's game against the Giants if Spears remains unable to practice Friday and gets ruled out heading into the weekend.

Titans' Tony Pollard: Returns to practice Thursday
Rotowire
Pollard (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
After sitting out Wednesday's session due to his ankle issue, Pollard's return is a positive sign for Tennessee's lead running back heading into Week 3 prep. Pollard's availability for Week 3 is particularly important, with Tyjae Spears (ankle) not present for the open portion of Thursday's practice. Friday's practice will tell the tale for Pollard's status going into the Titans' matchup with the Giants.

Titans' Tony Pollard: RBs to Sit
Rotowire
Pollard has struggled through two games this season with a combined 21 carries for 99 yards and no touchdowns and two catches for no yards on three targets. The Giants run defense isn't great, and Javonte Williams, Kryen Williams and Blake Corum each scored at least 10.2 PPR points in two games against New York. But Pollard continues to share work with Tyjae Spears, and it's hard to trust Pollard as anything more than flex option in most leagues in Week 3.

Titans' Tony Pollard: Managing ankle injury
Rotowire
Pollard 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 Tyjae Spears 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 Pollard will nonetheless need to upgrade to full practice participation by Friday to avoid taking an injury designation into the weekend.

Titans' Tony Pollard: Not practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Titans head coach Robert Saleh said that Pollard won't practice Wednesday due to unspecified soreness, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Tyjae Spears 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. Pollard has served as Option 1A out of the Tennessee backfield through the team's first two games, producing a 21-99-0 rushing line while seeing limited involvement in the passing game (two catches for zero yards on three targets).

Titans' Tony Pollard: Just eight touches in Week 1 loss
Rotowire
Pollard rushed seven times for 35 yards while catching one of two targets for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Jets.
The Titans spent most of Sunday's season opener playing catch-up, so they didn't give Pollard many carries, but he averaged an efficient 5.0 yards per carry on his limited opportunities. Tyjae Spears turned three carries and four targets into 24 yards, as Tennessee's backfield pecking order remains unchanged from 2025, with Pollard getting most of the opportunities on the ground. Another negative game script could limit Pollard's volume again in Week 2 against the Eagles, though the Titans will try to get off to a stronger start to avoid that scenario.

Titans' Tony Pollard: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Pollard is worth using as a flex option in this matchup with the Jets and hopefully, he'll pick up where he left off last season, when he averaged 100 rushing yards per game over his final five outings. He scored at least 11.5 PPR points in three of those games, and the Titans could win this matchup since they are favored at home. Tyjae Spears has flex appeal as well, and the Jets were No. 1 last year in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. Coming into Week 1, a running back has scored at least 16.7 PPR points against the Jets in six of the past seven games to end 2025.

Titans' Tony Pollard: Returns to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Pollard (undisclosed) returned to practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Pollard missed Monday's practice after taking four carries for 22 yards and a TD in last Thursday's preseason opener against San Francisco. A quick return to the practice field suggests he'll be fine for Week 1, regardless of participation (or lack thereof) in the upcoming exhibition against Seattle on Sunday. Pollard was in for nine of Cam Ward's 22 snaps last week, with Tyjae Spears playing the other 13 snaps and taking five touches for 39 yards.

Titans' Tony Pollard: Looking to remain top option in TEN
Rotowire
Pollard found paydirt at the Titans' joint practice with the 49ers on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official website reports.
Pollard was able to reel in a touchdown through the air from Cam Ward during the team's red-zone period against San Francisco. The running back is set to face some added competition in the backfield this season after Tennessee selected Nicholas Singleton in the fifth round of this year's draft, while Tyjae Spears (undisclosed) is looking to put together his first healthy campaign since his rookie year in 2023. Pollard has been a bit of an iron man in his NFL career, missing just a handful of regular-season contests over the last five years, but the 29-year-old has seen his receiving production drop in each of the last three campaigns, and he could find himself on the sidelines more often in passing situations this season.
