2026 Week 4 Fantasy Football: Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears Miss Titans Practice Wednesday

According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), neither Tony Pollard nor Tyjae Spears practiced for the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday. Pollard is dealing with a foot injury; Spears has an ankle issue. Head coach Robert Saleh told reporters he's "not overly concerned about Sunday" for either player, which is the best-case framing you can get from a Week 1 injury report.

The two players are connected at the hip here — literally the same backfield, and both hurt at the same time. If one or both miss Sunday's game against the Ravens, whoever remains becomes an instant must-start. If both are out, whoever the Titans elevate from depth becomes a high-upside desperation play. Watch Thursday's practice report closely; a DNP on Thursday after a Wednesday DNP is when the alarm bells should go off.

Tony Pollard

Pollard has been the lead back, with 38 carries for 173 yards and six catches for 22 yards per the source story. A foot injury is the scarier of the two ailments — feet can linger — but Saleh's public comments suggest this isn't expected to cost him the game. Monitor his practice participation through Friday before making any roster decisions. Don't drop him, but have a handcuff ready.

Tyjae Spears

Spears has logged 13 carries for 58 yards and four catches for 41 yards, making him a real PPR (points per reception) factor out of the backfield. An ankle injury sitting alongside Pollard's foot issue puts the Titans' entire backfield in limbo. If Pollard is limited or out, Spears becomes the starter — and if Spears is the one sidelined, Pollard's workload climbs. Either scenario has value; the risk is both missing, which Saleh's comments make sound unlikely for now.
