Limited in return to practice Spears (ankle) was officially limited in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact The Titans officially moved Spears to the designated-to-return-to-practice list Wednesday, so it's unsurprising to see him with a cap on his activity level. Per John Glennon of NashvillePost.com, Spears said he's taking it one day at a time in regards to the possibility of his playing Sunday against Arizona. Before being eligible to suit up, Tennessee will have to officially activate Spears from IR. At that point, he'll join Tony Pollard atop the team's backfield.

Designated to return to practice Spears (ankle) moved to the Titans' designated to return to practice list Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact The designation opens up a three-week window for Spears, who remains on IR, to practice with the team. In the meantime, he won't count against the team's 53-man roster, but barring any setbacks, Spears -- who is eligible to return to practice Wednesday -- is moving toward bolstering the Titans backfield, which has been led by Tony Pollard through the first four weeks of the season.

Tennessee Titans to designate Tyjae Spears to return from injured reserve The Tennessee Titans are set to open running back Tyjae Sears' 21-day window to return from injured reserve.

SEPTEMBER 29 • USATODAY.COM

Expected back at practice this week The Titans are expected to open Spears' (ankle) 21-day practice window this week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Spears suffered a high-ankle sprain during the preseason and started the season on injured reserve, but he's eligible to return to practice this week. It sounds like Spears is closing in on 100 percent health. Tony Pollard has played a whopping 89 percent of the Titans' offensive snaps as a true every-down back through four games and has averaged 18.5 touches per contest, totaling 316 yards and one touchdown. Spears should take some of that work once he returns, but Pollard will likely remain the lead back in Tennessee.

Placed on IR/designated for return The Titans officially placed Spears (ankle) on the injured reserve/designated for return list Tuesday.

Impact The move ensures that Spears, who has been managing a high-ankle sprain, will miss at least the first four games of the regular season. Tony Pollard will lead the team's backfield, with Julius Chestnut and Kalel Mullings (ankle) left to handle complementary snaps in Spears' absence, though it's possible that the Titans will add another running back from among other teams' cut-downs.

Impact Spears -- who suffered a high ankle sprain earlier this month and was spotted in a walking boot this past weekend -- is thus slated to miss time out of the gate this season as a result of the looming transaction, which could occur Tuesday. As a result, Tony Pollard figures to see added touches, while the Titans will likely add depth to a backfield that also includes Julius Chestnut and Kalel Mullings (ankle).

Remains in boot Spears (ankle) remained in a walking boot at practice Friday, Nick Suss of The Tennessean reports.

Impact Spears suffered a right high-ankle sprain in the Titans' preseason opener against the Buccaneers on Aug. 9, and he hasn't returned to practice yet. The running back has not been placed on the PUP list, so there's a belief that he will be able to return to action somewhere near the beginning of the regular season, but he appears unlikely to be ready to go for the team's opener Sept. 7 in Denver. If Spears is unavailable against the Broncos, Julius Chestnut seems to be the top candidate to operate as the No. 2 option in the backfield behind starter Tony Pollard.

Titans Coach Brian Callahan Gives Defined Injury Timeline for RB Tyjae Spears Spears suffered a high-ankle sprain in Saturday night's preseason game.

AUGUST 10 • SI.COM

Dealing with ankle sprain Spears was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain that he suffered in Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Spears had to be carted off the field after injuring his ankle in the first half. The nature of the injury puts the 2023 third-rounder in jeopardy of missing the Titans' Week 1 contest against the Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 7. In Spear's absence, Julius Chestnut and Kalel Mullings will have the opportunity to audition for the RB2 role behind Tony Pollard, who will have to take on a bigger workload at the start of the regular season.

Leaves stadium on crutches Spears (ankle) boarded the Titans' team bus on crutches and in a walking boot after Saturday's loss to Tampa Bay, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Impact Spears needed a cart to get to the locker room after suffering a right leg injury in the first half of Saturday's preseason opener. After the game, head coach Brian Callahan said Spears likely has an ankle injury but will need further evaluation, per Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com. If Spears has an injury that carries over into the regular season, Julius Chesnut and/or Kalel Mullings could be asked to step into a bigger role. In addition, Tony Pollard would likely need to shoulder a bigger-than-planned workload -- there had been some talk during the offseason and preseason that the pair could work in a more even split compared to last year.
