While Spears’ availability for Week 3 seems secure for now, the Titans need to be cautious with their second-string running back. Although Spears has not faced any major injuries since joining the NFL, the team must remain vigilant to protect him. The split workload with Tony Pollard has been effective so far, with Spears recording eight touches for 31 yards in Week 2 against the Jets.
Tennessee is also aiming to maintain a balanced passing game. Quarterback Will Levis needs to improve his decision-making and reduce turnovers, while the Titans should focus on creating more opportunities for All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins alongside Calvin Ridley.
Spears and Pollard have managed to share responsibilities effectively as the top two running backs. While Pollard has outperformed Spears statistically, Spears has proven valuable as a pass catcher for the rookie Levis.
With a busy practice week ahead, the Titans are preparing for their matchup against the Packers.
