Tyjae Spears suffered a high ankle sprain in Saturday’s preseason tilt, sidelining the Titans’ early RB plans. Julius Chestnut and Kalel Mullings stepped in behind Tony Pollard, with Mullings producing 7 carries for 33 yards and Chestnut adding 3 for 18 as the Titans gauge their backfield depth.

Cam Ward flashed in limited action, and Brandon Allen locked in as the clear backup quarterback. On the outside, Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett offered reminders of their playmaking ability, while Pollard stayed productive before Spears exited. From a fantasy lens, Mullings’ and Chestnut’s performance shapes immediate depth and potential split-work scenarios behind Pollard.

Keep a close eye on Mullings’ pass-catching versatility and Chestnut’s between-the-tackles efficiency, as the injury timeline for Spears will dictate how quickly Pollard’s workload shifts and which back emerges as the most viable waiver add or flex play in the early weeks.
