Tyjae Spears is expected to miss several weeks after suffering a high ankle sprain in the Titans’ preseason opener against Tampa Bay. The injury shakes up a projected Titans backfield tandem with Pollard, as the team anticipated a balanced attack featuring both players this season. Spears posted 453 rushing yards, 2 rushing TDs, and 52 receptions for 385 yards as a rookie, but also dealt with concussions and other injuries that limited him to 114 touches last year. Fantasy managers should monitor the timetable for Spears’ return and recalibrate short-term expectations for Pollard, who logged 260 carries last season and could see added opportunities if Spears misses time.

On the health front, Callahan offered updates on multiple teammates: T’Vondre Sweat is returning from tonsil removal, with joint practices versus Atlanta on the horizon. Blake Hance and Lloyd Cushenberry III could rejoin practice this week, though Cushenberry remains on the PUP list with Achilles concerns. Rookie Kevin Winston Jr. has been missing practice for general maintenance, and cornerback L’Jarius Sneed is nearing a return but without a firm timeline. The Titans will hold joint practices with the Falcons in Atlanta, shaping rosters ahead of more preseason action while the backfield workload remains in flux for fantasy rosters.
