Overview

  • Spears left Saturday’s preseason game against the Buccaneers in the second quarter after limping off from a routine screen pass and was carted off with a lower-leg injury.
  • Team doctors have classified the setback as a high ankle sprain, according to ESPN insider Turron Davenport.
  • The Titans will await MRI results to set a recovery timetable and decide if Spears can suit up for Week 1 of the 2025 season.
  • Spears battled hamstring and concussion issues in 2024 that limited him to 12 games, underscoring concerns about his durability entering Year 3.
  • With Tony Pollard entrenched as the starter and rookie Kalel Mullings poised for increased snaps, Tennessee’s backfield depth could be tested if Spears misses time.
