Titans RBs Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears Miss Wednesday Practice

Both Titans backs sidelined Wednesday

Tennessee held practice Wednesday without its top two running backs. Neither Tony Pollard nor Tyjae Spears was on the field, leaving the Titans' backfield in question as the week gets going.

That's the full scope of what we know right now: two missed practices, no further details on severity or return timelines. Wednesday absences early in the week don't always mean a player sits on game day, but when it's both of your lead backs, it's worth flagging.

What it means for your survivor pick

If you were eyeing the Titans this week, pump the brakes until the rest of the practice reports roll in. A backfield missing both Pollard and Spears points toward a thinner, less predictable ground game — exactly the kind of uncertainty survivor players don't want to bet their entry on. The safe move is to wait and see whether either back practices later in the week before committing. If you've got a cleaner option on your board, there's no reason to gamble on a team managing injuries at its most important skill position.
