Joshua Kelley: Everything you need to know

Kelley appeared in three regular-season games for the Titans in 2024, getting one carry for two yards. Kelley latched on with Tennessee in mid-October after being unable to make the Giants' 53-man roster out of training camp. The UCLA product started on the practice squad but spent much of the campaign as a healthy scratch after signing with their active roster in November. Headed for free agency this spring, Kelley's prior success with the Chargers will likely land him an opportunity to play again in 2025.

The Titans signed Kelley off the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports. Kelley was released by the Giants at the end of training camp, but he managed to catch on with the Titans' practice squad Oct. 15. With Tyjae Spears (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots and lead back Tony Pollard (foot) listed as questionable, Kelley could see some snaps out of the backfield in a rotational role.

The Titans signed Kelley to the practice squad Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports. Kelley spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Chargers, and he finished the 2023 regular season with 107 carries for 405 yards and two touchdowns while adding eight catches (on 12 targets) for 32 yards. He spent most of the offseason as a free agent before signing with the Giants during training camp, but the 2020 fourth-round pick was unable to make the 53-man roster. Kelley could be elevated to the Titans' active roster as early as Week 7 against the Bills due to Tyjae Spears being listed as week-to-week with a hamstring injury he suffered against the Colts on Sunday. If Kelley is indeed elevated from the practice squad to the active roster, he would serve as the Titans' No. 3 running back behind Tony Pollard and Julius Chestnut.
