Tyjae Spears

Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) told reporters he is playing in Week 3 against the Packers.

Spears didn’t practice on Wednesday but his comments make it clear that isn’t a reason to worry about his status for Week 3. The young running back is likely just getting a maintenance day as he works through the minor ankle injury in suffered in Week 2. That also aligns with the reporting from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, who said Spears “should be ok” earlier this week. Spears will continue to operate as the lesser half of Tennessee’s backfield-by-committee on Sunday versus the Packers.
