Titans Activate RB Tyjae Spears Ahead Cardinals Game

The Tennessee Titans activated running back Tyjae Spears from injured reserve ahead of their Week 5 game against the Arizona Cardinals, marking a significant boost to their struggling running game. Spears, sidelined with an ankle injury since the preseason, will join Tony Pollard in the backfield as the Titans seek their first win of the 2025 season. Spears has shown versatility with 312 rushing yards, four touchdowns, and 30 receptions last season, and the Titans have restructured their roster by placing safety Mike Brown on injured reserve and elevating wide receiver James Proche and defensive back Kendell Brooks from the practice squad. Despite their 0-4 record, the Cardinals are cautious, recognizing the threat Spears and the Titans pose, emphasizing the competitiveness of every NFL game. Titans coach Brian Callahan expressed a desire to balance the workload between Pollard and Spears to optimize offensive performance. Spears expressed excitement about returning to play, with the Titans aiming to improve their league-worst rushing offense against a strong Cardinals defense.
