Tyjae Spears's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) was not seen at practice on Wednesday, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN Radio. The 23-year-old suffered an ankle injury during Week 2 and was forced to exit the game early. Earlier this week, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported that the injury did not seem serious. For now, fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status before their weekend matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Through the early part of the season, Spears has taken a backseat in the Tennessee backfield, while Tony Pollard has seen the majority of opportunities. Spears should be considered a low-end flex play if he suits up on Sunday.

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is day-to-day and doesn't appear to have suffered a very serious injury in the Week 2 loss to the New York Jets in the team's home opener. Still, Spears' practice status will be worth watching later this week as they prepare to play the Green Bay Packers in Week 3. If the 23-year-old is limited at all or eventually ruled out, it would mean a bigger workload for Tony Pollard. Before getting hurt on Sunday, Spears had six carries for only 20 yards while catching two of his three targets for 11 yards against the Jets. Through two games, Spears hasn't been much more than a low-upside RB3/flex option for fantasy managers in what has been a less-than-impressive Titans offense. Julius Chestnut would become Tennessee's RB2 behind Pollard if Spears is forced to miss Week 3.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the New York Jets. He was observed walking to the locker room with one shoe removed. At the time of his departure, he had 20 rushing yards, 11 receiving yards, and 22 kick return yards. Tennessee has Tony Pollard atop its depth chart, so he'll continue to handle the bulk of the rushing workload regardless of whether Spears can return. Julius Chestnut would be next on the depth chart.
