    Tony Pollard rushed 16 times for 48 yards and a touchdown in the Titans’ Week 4 loss to the Ravens, adding two catches for two additional yards.

    Pollard was wildly inefficient in this one, but saved his fantasy day when he scored a three-yard touchdown in the first quarter to give the Titans their first points of the day. It was the first touchdown of the season for Pollard, who continues to serve as the Titans’ primary back, but there’s not much fantasy upside to be had here. Pollard will be a boom-or-bust RB3 next week against the Texans.

    Schefter didn’t cite any sources telling him that Pollard could be on the move, but he did connect a few key dots. Pollard is in the final year of his contract and the Titans are going nowhere fast. If they don’t plan on re-signing him next offseason, they might as well get something in return for him in the middle of another lost season. His departure would also clear the way for rookie Nick Singleton to see more work.

    With Titans RB2 Tyjae Spears (ankle) questionable to play, Pollard could end up handling a big workload. Unfortunately, the Titans field an unproductive offense and face the Ravens this week. He can only be viewed as a moderate FLEX starter.
  • TEN Running Back #20
    The full practice keeps him as a potential RB2/FLEX option against the Ravens for Week 4. Pollard dominated reps in Week 3 with Tyjae Spears active as a game-time decision. Spears looks to be a little better this week, but Pollard should be at the head of the committee still in Week 4.
  • TEN Running Back #20
    Neither did Tyjae Spears, who is also dealing with an ankle issue. Both backs played through their injuries last week and head coach Robert Saleh said today that he isn’t concerned about either of them missing Week 4. The Titans held them out of last Wednesday’s practice as well, so this seems to be the new norm for the backfield tandem. Pollard remains a volume-based RB3 after seeing 21 touches last week. Spears is nothing more than a backup right now.
  • TEN Running Back #20
    Pollard handled all but three of the running back carries in this contest and was the only Titans running back to earn a target. Tyjae Spears was a game-time decision because of an ankle injury and was likely on some sort of pitch count, shifting the bulk of the touches to Pollard. The role was great, but the fantasy production was lacking. That has been a theme for Titans players over the past few years. Pollard is capable of earning an RB2 workload but will ultimately project for RB3 fantasy numbers when the Titans take on the Ravens next week.
  • TEN Running Back #20
    Pollard being upgraded to a full participant on Friday suggests he will be removed from the injury report heading into the weekend. Pollard has rushed 21 times for 99 yards this season while adding another two receptions on three targets. With rain expected in Sunday’s forecast, the Titans could lean heavily on Pollard and the ground game against a Giants team that’s allowing 5.0 yards per carry through two games.
  • TEN Running Back #20
    Pollard could be in line for a boost if he plays and Tyjae Spears sits, as the Titans haven’t really shown much interest in using their other running backs so far. Nicholas Singleton played just six snaps last week. Pollard missed practice Wednesday but seems to be in line to play after today’s session.
  • TEN Running Back #20
    We were told earlier today that Pollard and Spears are “dealing with some soreness.” Now we know what ails them. The Titans field an unexciting offense, but on the off chance that both Pollard and Spears are unable to play, rookie RB Nicholas Singleton would theoretically be in line for a sizable workload against the Giants this week. Stay tuned.
  • TEN Running Back #20
    Though it shouldn’t cost them Week 3’s game against the Giants, their practice participation will be worth monitoring in the coming days. Through two games, Pollard leads the team with 21 carries while Spears leads the backfield in pass routes and targets. Both backs are borderline options in deeper fantasy leagues in Week 3. The Giants have allowed the second highest rate of rush yards before contact through two weeks.
  • TEN Running Back #20
    Pollard “added” a one-yard reception. Although Pollard out-carried Tyjae Spears 14-7, the backs were rotating frequently. Pro Football Focus did chart Pollard as winning the snaps battle 29-19, with his touches advantage resting at 15-9. Rookie Nicholas Singleton also mixed in for four carries. All in all, it was a better day than Pollard had in Week 1, but it is going to be so difficult for him to create consistent FLEX value in this awful offense with Spears rotating in as frequently as he does.

    Patriots brought in free agent RB Jamaal Williams for a workout.

    The Pats brought in an interesting name to work out for the backfield this week, bringing in former Packers, Lions, and Saints running back Jamaal Williams. The 31-year-old last appeared in the NFL for the Saints in 2024, tallying 164 rushing yards that season. He had a career year for the Lions in 2022, totaling 1,000 yards on the ground and leading the league in rushing touchdowns. The Patriots are looking for some depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson; there is no indication Williams will sign, but he will be practice squad depth if he does.

    Giants WR Braxton Berrios (foot) announced he will need season-ending surgery.

    Berrios announced on his Instagram that he will need season-ending surgery for his foot injury that landed him on injured reserve. The 31-year-old is primarily a special teamer, returning four punts and five kicks this season. Injuries have prevented Berrios from appearing in more than 14 games over the last three seasons and he now has his season end early as he requires foot surgery.

    Broncos signed WR Cam Ross to their practice squad.

    With Pat Bryant (ankle) suffering a multi-week injury in Week 4, the Broncos are adding to their wide receiver depth by signing Ross to the practice squad. The 25-year-old Ross was an undrafted free agent out of Virginia who spent training camp with the Broncos before he was let go in final cuts. Ross now re-joins the practice squad. EDGE Jahfari Harvey was let go from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

    Cardinals signed OL Jedrick Wills off Buffalo’s practice squad.

    He’ll replace Paris Johnson, who heads to season-ending injured reserve. Wills, the former 10th overall pick in the 2020 draft, will compete with 2026 seventh-rounder Jayden Williams for reps at left tackle in Johnson’s absence.

    Buccaneers LB Josiah Trotter (knee) did not practice on Tuesday.

    It was a mid-week downgrade after a limited estimated session on Monday. Trotter’s in real danger of missing Thursday night’s game against the Cowboys.

    Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin (right groin/hip) did not practice on Tuesday.

    It was an addition to the report. Never a great sign, especially on a short week. The Buccaneers aren’t carrying a practice-squad kicker, so expect some workouts as they try to find someone you won’t be starting in fantasy football with Jalon Daniels under center.

    Cardinals placed TE Hunter Long (knee) on injured reserve.

    He’ll miss at least the next four weeks. Long had played 91 snaps in his first four weeks with the Cardinals and will cede blocking duties to promoted practice-squadder Teagan Quitoriano for those of you in points-per-blocked-players leagues.

    OT Lane Johnson retired from the NFL after 14 seasons.

    We’d heard word through former Eagles EDGE Brandon Graham on a post-game show that this was on the table following Week 4, but it’s still a stunner to see it come to fruition. Johnson cites that his “personal and family priorities” have changed in his post about retiring. The stalwart Eagles right tackle made two first-team All-Pro appearances and three second teams, along with six Pro Bowls. Markel Bell started in his stead in Week 4 and should be expected to get the playing time at right tackle going forward.

    Browns designated QB Dillon Gabriel (back/IR) for return.

    His 21-day practice window will open up. There’s obviously no rush to promote him to the active roster with the Browns already dressing three quarterbacks every week, so this is probably just starting a ticking clock on a trade or cut from the quarterback room.
