Overview
- Head coach Robert Saleh said Friday Spears must "clear some hurdles" to be active for Sunday’s game at Baltimore, leaving the running back's status unsettled.
- The team officially put Spears on the injury report as questionable for Week 4 with an ankle issue after mixed practice notes over the past two days.
- Practice accounts conflict because one report listed Spears as a limited participant while another called him a full participant, and Saleh emphasized final clearance is still needed.
- Tony Pollard is the likely starter if Spears is inactive after he returned to practice without restrictions, though Pollard is also managing a minor foot issue.
- If Spears can’t play, the Titans plan to give increased snaps to rookie Nick Singleton and veteran Michael Carter, a shift that alters Tennessee’s game plan and fantasy outlook as the team seeks its first win at 0-3.
