Titans injury report: Calvin Ridley, L’Jarius Sneed sit out

The Tennessee Titans returned to the practice field Wednesday and released their first injury report for the week.

After a busy day of transactions, the Tennessee Titans returned to the practice field to start preparing for their Week 8 matchup against the Detroit Lions. This provided an opportunity to see where several of the team’s injured players are at.

With QB Will Levis, RB Tyjae Spears, and OT Jaelyn Duncan all mentioned as “week-to-week” heading into the session, it made for an interesting day of preparation. It could help determine who will be available in this tough match-up. 

CB L’Jarius Sneed again did not practice with his quad injury. Sneed missed the Week 7 matchup with the Buffalo Bills, and his status has not been updated. As expected, Duncan did not practice with his hamstring and will likely miss the week. Also not practicing were WR Calvin Ridley (foot) and DT Jeffery Simmons (NIR/rest).

Levis (shoulder), Spears (hamstring), DT Keondre Coburn (knee) and RB Julius Chestnut (calf) were all limited participants. It was a great sign for both Coburn and Spears, who missed the last game after not practicing during the previous week. 

LB Cedric Gray (shoulder) and LB Kenneth Murray (shoulder) were both full participants.

The Titans’ Wednesday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: CB L’Jarius Sneed (quad), OT Jaelyn Duncan (hamstring), WR Calvin Ridley (foot), DT Jeffery Simmons (NIR/rest)

Limited participants: QB Will Levis (shoulder), RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring), DT Keondre Coburn (knee), RB Julius Chestnut (calf)

Full participant: LB Cedric Gray (shoulder), LB Kenneth Murray (shoulder)

Titans’ QB Will Levis ‘week-to-week’ with shoulder injury

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan issued a brief injury update calling QB Will Levis ‘week-to-week’ with his shoulder injury.

When the Tennessee Titans return to practice on Wednesday, all eyes will be on the injury situations after starters QB Will Levis (shoulder) and CB L’Jarius Sneed (quad) missed the 34-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. When pressed on the injury situation Monday, head coach Brian Callahan gave a few updates but kept most of the information in-house. 

Callahan was optimistic that the team might welcome back RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) this week, although there was no definitive word. He seemed less optimistic about Levis and OT Jaelyn Duncan, who left Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury. When mentioning both Levis and Duncan, he categorized their injuries as week-to-week.

Duncan, who started at right tackle in Week 7, gave way to former starter Nicholas Petit-Frere after his injury, and it did not go well. The right tackle position has been a problem all season, and it continued after his departure. 

Besides Duncan, WR DeAndre Hopkins sat out the fourth quarter of the loss with lower leg soreness, but did not see an issue moving forward. He also stated that everything else from the game was the normal “bumps and bruises” that accrue during the week. 

There was no update on Sneed and the quad issue that kept him out of action, giving hope that he will be available this week. That would be a boost for a defense that will have its hands full with the explosive Detroit Lions offense. The first injury report for Week 8 will be released Wednesday.

More bad news for Titans WR Treylon Burks

Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks injured his knee in practice and may be taking a trip toward the injured reserve list.

For the most part, the Tennessee Titans have remained rather healthy throughout 2024. While there have been bumps and bruises that have kept people out, up until this week, the biggest loss was CB Chidobe Awuzie who ended up on injured reserve following the Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers. 

This week has been different. With Keondre Coburn recovering from a Week 4 knee injury and RB Tyjae Spears week-to-week with a hamstring injury, the team saw WR Treylon Burks injure a knee in practice and the prognosis is bleak.

Burks, a disappointing former first-round selection, has battled injuries throughout his career. Now, it appears that this injury could put him out for some time. Reports have surfaced that Burks may be headed to injured reserve, costing him at least four weeks of action. 

With the Titans taking a run-first approach in recent weeks, Burks’ main contribution came as a blocker. For the season, he has only four receptions for 34 yards, even though he is outpacing other receivers in snaps. With Burks out, WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, who scored his first touchdown of the season in this past Sunday’s 20-17 loss to the Colts, should step in and take on a larger role.

Burks, Spears, and Coburn have all been ruled out by head coach Brian Callahan for Week 7. The rest of the injury report will be released late Friday afternoon after the Titans finish up practice before traveling to Orchard Park to take on the Buffalo Bills.

The Tennessee Titans released their final injury report for Week 7 and see two starters questionable for the meeting with the Buffalo Bills.

Coming off another disappointing loss, the Titans have accumulated some injuries this week. DT Keondre Coburn, RB Tyjae Spears, and WR Treylon Burks will be out. LB Cedric Gray was not activated to the active roster and is also out after a full week of practice.

After making news early Thursday with the release of S Jamal Adams, the Tennessee Titans returned to the field for a padded practice.

Titans’ Tyjae Spears considered ‘week-to-week’ with his hamstring injury

The Tennessee Titans lost RB Tyjae Spears with a hamstring injury against the Indianapolis Colts and it could keep him out of action for some time.

The Tennessee Titans fell 20-17 to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday and now start preparing for their Week 7 battle with the Buffalo Bills.

During the game, the Titans lost RB Tyjae Spears to a hamstring injury, leaving RB Tony Pollard to carry the load. Prior to the injury, Spears was off to a good start with six carries for 27 yards, but now it appears they could be without him for some time.

During his press availability, head coach Brian Callahan announced that Spears would be considered “week-to-week” with his hamstring injury, which puts his availability this week in jeopardy against the Bills.

If Spears can’t go, third-year RB Julius Chestnut will likely slide into the backup role behind Pollard. Against the Colts, Chestnut recorded one carry for two yards. With Spears ailing, he may be forced to take on a much bigger role for the offense.

With the Titans’ passing game struggling, Pollard will again be looked upon to carry the load moving forward. To this point, he has looked up to the task, but that hasn’t been enough to lead to victories.

He will again try to spark the sputtering offense on Sunday on the road in Orchard Park when the Titans face off with the Bills.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears questionable to return with hamstring injury

Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears left the Week 6 match-up with the Indianapolis Colts with a hamstring injury and is questionable to return.

The Tennessee Titans are leading the Indianapolis Colts 17-10 midway through the third quarter after RB Tony Pollard scored on a 23-yard touchdown run. 

https://twitter.com/1045TheZone/status/1845538288485961931

Pollard will likely be carrying a larger workload in the second half as RB Tyjae Spears suffered a hamstring injury and is questionable to return. He can be seen on the sideline, but he does not have his helmet. Prior to the injury, Spears had six carries for 27 yards. 

Pollard is having a solid day with 12 carries for 75 yards and a touchdown. With the Titans in the lead, Pollard will play a huge role in continuing the ball-control approach being employed by the offense.

Titans’ Tyjae Spears shares special moment with fan

Titans’ running back Tyjae Spears has a special moment with after the team’s win over the Dolphins on Monday.

Tennessee Titans second-year running back Tyjae Spears is already an improved back in 2024 than he was in 2023. He’s on pace to have more carries this year than last year, and while his yards-per-carry are slightly down, that will change as the season wears on and he becomes more confident.

With Mason Rudolph under center, Spears benefitted greatly, as did Tony Pollard. The Titans even earned their first win over the Dolphins on Monday Night Football this week, and Spears got to share a special moment with a fan while on the road.

As Spears jogs to the locker room, he has a game ball in his hands that he’s tossing when a fan catches his eye. He stops, looks at the fan and smiles. Then he walks over to the stands, where you can see a boy (perhaps a young man) in a wheelchair. Spears offers him a fist-bump, but the boy can’t reach so his caregiver moves his chair forward and helps the boy return the bump. Upon seeing the fan’s reaction, Spears tosses the game ball to him, making his entire night.

It’s one thing to go see your favorite team play a game. It’s another thing when you travel to do it, or when you don’t live near your team and they come to visit. Those occasions are rare, so when an interaction with a player tops off that rare moment, well, any fan would be excited.

As the parent of a kid with different abilities and medical complexities, I can attest to how much this moment meant to this fan and his chaperone. Being noticed goes so much farther than you think it does. This is a moment that young man will never forget, and all it took was 30 seconds of Spears’ time.[lawrence-related id=151642,151616,151612]
