Tennessee Titans QB Brandon Allen (shin) left practice early Tuesday, Aug. 12, because a shin laceration that required stitches.
Footballguys view: With Will Levis hitting season-ending IR after a shoulder surgery, Allen is poised to be the primary backup behind rookie Cam Ward. Expect Allen to get stitched up and return to the practice field soon in a non-contact jersey. |

Updating a previous report, Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) is expected to miss a few weeks due to the high ankle sprain he suffered in the preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, head coach Brian Callahan said Sunday, Aug. 10. He isn't expected to return this preseason, but the team is hopeful he'll be ready for Week 1.
Footballguys view: It's possible that Spears is limited, or even out for Week 1 against the Broncos. Tony Pollard has some extra early season value, Spears drops down on the upside backup running back late round target list. Spears reputation as an injury-prone player isn't changing any time soon. |

Footballguys view: The Titans want Spears and Tony Pollard to have a roughly equal split, but Spears can't stay healthy. Fantasy football rankings already assumed that Spears would miss time and give Pollard some clear lead back starts, but Pollard's ADP should still go up on this news. |

Tennessee Titans WR Bryce Oliver (hamstring) left practice early Wednesday, Aug. 6, because of hamstring soreness but expects to take part in practice Thursday, Aug. 7.
Link to storyTennessee Titans QB Cam Ward will play in three preseason games, according to head coach Brian Callahan. Ward is expected to play one or two series in the first preseason game Saturday, Aug. 9.
Footballguys view: Ward has a big arm and supreme athleticism as a scrambler. His game may be a bit raw, but that's what the preseason is for. The Titans play the Broncos in Week 1 of the regular season, so Ward is going to face the toughest defense in the league in the opener. |
The Tennessee Titans re-signed S Quandre Diggs (foot) Tuesday, Aug. 5. He is reportedly fully recovered from a Lisfranc injury.

Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears has positioned himself for an uptick as he has been explosive running through holes in camp. Last season, he ran the ball 84 times and had 30 catches. Something close to 100 carries wouldn't be shocking, and the team hopes he can avoid the injury bug that took five games from him last year.
Footballguys view: As ESPN's Jeremy Fowler noted, the Titans used a 75-25 share between Tony Pollard and Spears last season. Pollard isn't shrinking in stature -- he's the feature back and one of their best players. But Fowler reports Spears has looked explosive running through holes, and the Titans hope he can stave off injury after he missed five games in 2024. Pollard remains a value with an RB28 ADP, while Spears could offer value as well, at RB41. Spears finished as RB42 last season. |

Tennessee Titans WR Tyler Lockett's role will have to shift with the Titans as he's expected to play more inside now. Lockett is known for avoiding hits by getting down at opportune times, and he said he might have to absorb more hits now as he fights for tough yards in a new offense. He's willing to do whatever it takes. 'You've got to let go of that pride of, 'I know how to do this' and you've got to go back to the learning stage and be coachable,' Lockett said. '[It's about] learning things new and down the road creating those relationships so that they know when you're doing what you're asked to do, they will be more open to ideas that you might have.'
Footballguys view: Expectations for Lockett are low, as reflected by his WR81 Average Draft Position. While he's a free-square play, going with the 238th pick overall, taking chances on role players in lower-end offenses isn't the path to fantasy success. |

Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward struggled against exotic third-down rush packages in the second practice ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler observed. 'We've put him under quite a bit of stress when it comes to that,' head coach Brian Callahan said. 'He's got a really good understanding of football, and he's able to apply it on the field quickly, which I think is what drew us to him in the draft. He has this ability to process that is pretty unique.'
Footballguys view: Fowler went on to note that Ward performed exactly how you'd expect a talented but green rookie to perform. The struggles with the exotic rush packages are viewed as part of the maturation. Ward is handling the off-field portion of his job well, leading the way in drawing several rookies to arrive between 4:30 and 5 each morning to get ready for the day. He's also putting in additional prep time with Callahan. "He works really, really hard," Callahan said. "The work ethic thing is legit." As it should be. Meanwhile, Ward is being drafted as QB24. |

Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley did not participate in practice Friday, Aug. 1, but head coach Brian Callahan said the absence was not injury related. Ridley did leave practice Wednesday, July 30, because of cramps.

Updating an earlier report, Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley (calf) dealt with cramping in his right calf during practice Wednesday, July 30, according to TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt.
Footballguys view: Let's keep an eye on this situation. Cramps can be dealt with, but it may require some rest to get Ridley right. Cam Ward spent plenty of time this offseason working with Ridley on timing and chemistry. Fantasy GMs can look at Ridley as a potential WR3/flex option. |

Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks (collarbone) was moved to the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, July 29, after clearing waivers.
Link to storyTennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley (undisclosed) left practice early Wednesday, July 30, because of an undisclosed injury and is being evaluated.
Footballguys view: Initial speculation by observers opined that it looked like a cramp on a very hot day, but the team only said they are continuing to evaluate the injury. #1 overall pick Cam Ward can't afford to lose Ridley, the anchor of an otherwise very raw wide receiver group, save for Tyler Lockett, whose best football is behind him. |

Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward went 11-for-26 with three interceptions during 7-on-7 drills and team drills at practice Tuesday, July 29.
Footballguys view: Ward is a rookie, and it's not all that uncommon for a rookie to have a bad day. If he strings a few bad practices together, that's something worth monitoring. However, this story shouldn't change your opinion of this year's first overall pick. |
Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks (collarbone) was waived with an injury designation on Monday, July 28.
Footballguys view: Burks was the 18th pick of the 2022 draft, a selection the Titans acquired by trading wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Eagles. As Profootballtalk.com understated, the decision to trade Brown rather than sign him to a long-term deal has not worked out for Tennessee. Burks was limited to 22 games in his first two seasons. He had 53 catches for 699 yards and a touchdown when he was healthy enough to play, so neither his availability nor his production has come close to matching what Brown has done in Philadelphia. |
Free-agent WR Ramel Keyton (Raiders) agreed to terms with the Tennessee Titans Saturday, July 26. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Link to storyUpdating a previous report, Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks (collarbone) suffered a fractured collarbone during practice Saturday, July 26, and is expected to miss the start of the regular season.
Link to storyTennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks (shoulder) suffered an apparent shoulder injury during practice Saturday, July 26.
Footballguys view: It's a fractured collarbone, which will sideline Burks for at least the open of the season, per Ian Rapoport. Veteran Tyler Lockett and rookie fourth-round picks Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike will battle for snaps with the starters opposite Calvin Ridley, as Burks loses yet another opportunity to show why the Titans took him in the first round in 2022. |

Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks (knee) is expected to participate in practice when training camp begins. He was limited to individual drills during offseason workouts.
Footballguys view: Burks is recovering from a torn ACL tear suffered in Week 6 last season. As CBSSports.com suggested, once Burks is at or close to 100 percent, the 2022 first-rounder will have an opportunity to compete for a role in a Tennessee receiving corps led by Calvin Ridley but unsettled beyond that. |
Tennessee Titans second-round draft choice DE Oluwafemi Oladejo agreed to terms on a four-year contract Monday, July 21, worth $8.4 million, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Link to storyTennessee Titans QB Will Levis (shoulder) will undergo surgery on his throwing shoulder July 29 and will miss the entire 2025 season. Levis has elected to have the procedure to ensure long-term health, based on medical opinions, and it should help him be ready for the 2026 season.
Footballguys view: "We support his decision to focus on his long-term health," the Titans said of Levis in a statement. "He approached the offseason with professionalism and showed clear growth as a leader. We remain confident in his full recovery." Cam, the first overall pick in the 2025 draft, will take the first-team reps for the Titans in training camp and likely be backed up by Brandon Allen, a veteran free agent addition who spent three seasons with Titans coach Brian Callahan when the two were with the Cincinnati Bengals. |

Tennessee Titans RB Tyrion Davis-Price was waived Thursday, July 17.
Footballguys view: Tyrion Davis-Price generated some preseason buzz during his rookie campaign. But he's totalled just nine touches over the last two years with the 49ers and Eagles. He's likely destined to bounce around practice squads for the next few years. |
Free-agent RB Jordan Mims (Saints) agreed to a two-year deal with the Tennessee Titans Thursday, July 17. Financial terms weren't disclosed.

Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears rushed for at least 12 yards in only two of his 84 carries during the 2024 NFL season.
Footballguys view: Things should open up for Spears and Tony Pollard on the ground with QB Cam Ward under center. Defenses are going to dare Ward to beat them as a passer, but they'll also be focused on stopping him as a runner too. That could create more space for the running backs. All reports this offseason have been positive about Spears, and there's plenty of buzz about him getting more touches in 2025...although Spears and Pollard will still be sharing the workload. |

Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears looked explosive during offseason workouts and is expected to receive a bigger role in the offense this upcoming season, in the opinion of TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt.
Footballguys view: Earlier this year, Titans HC Brian Callahan said "I think we can do a better job managing that load so they both play a little more evenly" when discussing how the team could split time with Spears and Tony Pollard. Spears is a complete back, but the Titans have primarily used him on passing downs. We'll see if that changes this year, and we've got Spears at RB41 in our consensus rankings. |

Tennessee Titans TE Josh Whyle 'needs to step things up' during training camp if he wants to hold on to a roster spot, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com.
Footballguys view: Whyle is competing for the backup spot to Chig Okonkwo, and he's off the fantasy radar. The third-year pro will have to beat out talented rookie Gunnar Helm for the no.2 job. We like Helm in dynasty formats, and he's got some Pat Freiermuth to his game. Helm's size and ability to get open is going to give him more upside than Whyle, but the rookie will have to prove himself in training camp and the preseason. |

Tennessee Titans RB Kalel Mullings (undisclosed) is expected to be a full participant when training camp starts despite missing some offseason work because of an undisclosed injury.
Footballguys view: A converted linebacker at Michigan, Mullings was an absolute hammer playing running back for two seasons with the Wolverines. He brings that size and power to the NFL, and the rookie could be the best short-yardage and goal line option for the Titans. That means we could be looking at a three-headed RBBC with Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. |
