Titans' Tyjae Spears Suffers High-Ankle Sprain

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears suffered a reported high-ankle sprain to his lower right leg during the first half of the preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Spears was carted off after a 13-yard screen pass and later exited the stadium on crutches and in a walking boot. The severity of the injury remains under evaluation, but it raises concerns about his regular season availability. Spears, expected to share key backfield duties with Tony Pollard, had three carries for minus one yard and one reception before leaving. Should Spears be sidelined, Julius Chestnut and Kalel Mullings could see increased snaps while Pollard's workload may grow. The Titans trailed 13-7 at halftime when Spears exited.
