Tyjae Spears Picks Up High-Ankle Sprain in Loss

Tyjae Spears Picks Up High-Ankle Sprain in Loss

2 weeks ago

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is reportedly dealing with a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Saturday's 29-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Spears toted the rock three times for a loss of one yard and caught his only target for a gain of 13 before being carted off the field in the second quarter. Depending on the severity of the injury, he could face a few timelines, but is expected to miss at least the next few weeks as he recovers. Per Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com, the Tulane product was seen with a walking boot and crutches boarding the team bus following the defeat. Backfield mates Julius Chestnut and Kalel Mullings will get more run in his absence for now. If this lingers into the regular season, the likely outcome is that lead back Tony Pollard would absorb increased volume. Expect an update on Spears in the coming days.
