Tyjae Spears Looks Ready For Week 9

Tyjae Spears Looks Ready For Week 9

one year ago

Tennessee Titans rookie running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough after being listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report. The Titans are giving most of their injured players some extra rest on a short week as they prepare to face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. Derrick Henry (ankle) is also on the Week 9 injury report and has been limited both days so far, but it would be a surprise if he wasn't active on Thursday evening. The 22-year-old Spears is a dynamic complement to King Henry in Tennessee's backfield, but fantasy managers continue to temper expectations on a weekly basis because of the limited touches he's been getting. The third-rounder hasn't eclipsed 50 rushing yards in a single game and has just one touchdown in his first seven NFL games, but he's averaging a healthy 5.8 yards per carry.
