Titans' Tyjae Spears: Inactive for Sunday's game
Spears (knee) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Browns.
Beginning during Week 3 prep, Spears has experienced practice restrictions most weeks due to first an ankle injury and currently a knee issue. He's been able to suit up for each of the last four games but played second fiddle to Tony Pollard out of the Titans backfield, turning eight carries and 11 catches (on as many targets) into 47 yards from scrimmage. Now that Spears is confirmed to be unavailable, though, the active RBs behind Pollard on Sunday are Julius Chestnut, Michael Carter and Kalel Mullings.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Questionable for Week 7
Spears (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Spears has been a mainstay on the Titans' injury report over the past few weeks due to ankle and knee issues. He put together a DNP-FP-LP practice log during Week 7 prep, but he has yet to miss a regular-season game. That said, Spears has seen minimal usage on offense this season, and his role figures to be limited unless lead back Tony Pollard were to miss time.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Held out for rest Wednesday
The Titans listed Spears as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to rest, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Spears had made appearances on Titans injury reports in three of the past four weeks due to ankle and knee concerns, but his absence to begin Week 7 prep was just a planned maintenance day. The fourth-year back should be ready to go for the Titans' next game against the Browns on Sunday, when he'll handle a change-of-pace role behind lead runner Tony Pollard.

Titans' Tyjae Spears: Spectator to begin practice week
Titans head coach Robert Saleh said that Spears won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
An explanation for Spears' absence won't be known until the Titans post their first Week 7 injury report later Wednesday, but the running back had previously been listed with ankle and knee issues over the last few weeks. He's managed to play in all six of the Titans' games to date, but he's played fewer than half of the offensive snaps in the last five of those contests while accounting for 54 yards on 15 carries and 63 yards on 13 receptions. He looks like he'll have to settle for a low-usage change-of-pace role so long as lead back Tony Pollard is available.

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.
