Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears both missed Titans practice on Wednesday, according to NBC Sports/ProFootballTalk. The absences come as the Titans begin preparations for their Week 5 matchup.

What happened

Pollard is dealing with a foot injury, while Spears has an ankle issue. Neither player participated in the first practice session of the week.

Head coach Robert Saleh told reporters earlier in the day that he is “not overly concerned about Sunday” for both running backs.

Context

Pollard has been the Titans’ lead back this season, carrying 38 times for 173 yards and catching six passes for 22 yards. Spears has worked behind him, with 13 carries for 58 yards and four receptions for 41 yards.

What’s next

The Titans will continue their practice week, with Thursday and Friday sessions ahead of Sunday’s game. Pollard and Spears will have a chance to return to the field and prove their availability.

🏈 Fantasy impact

The news is encouraging for fantasy managers given Saleh’s comments, but both backs remain worth monitoring. If Pollard were to miss time, Spears would see a significant boost in workload, but the opposite is also true if Spears sits while Pollard plays. Check Tennessee’s official injury reports later in the week. For now, keep both players in lineups only if they log at least a limited practice by Friday. Have contingency options ready.
