Spears rushed the ball seven times for 47 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers. He added three receptions on three targets for four yards. Spears was active for the first time since Week 6, and he returned to record double-digit touches for only the second time in six games on the campaign. His touch total may have been inflated by a brief absence in the second quarter for Tony Pollard, but Spears should work as a change-of-pace option moving forward. Spears also showed encouraging explosiveness, as he notched a pair of double-digit gains in Sunday's loss.

Spears (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at the Chargers. Sidelined since injuring his hamstring Week 6 against the Colts, Spears put himself in a position to return to action with back-to-back full sessions to end Week 10 prep. He'll thus be available Sunday behind the Titans' No. 1 RB Tony Pollard (foot), who followed a LP-DNP-LP practice regimen this week but also doesn't carry a designation into the weekend. Prior to his three-game absence, Spears averaged 9.0 touches for 38.0 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring one rushing TD in five outings this season.
Spears (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Spears has been sidelined for each of the Titans' last three games with a hamstring injury, but his ability to take every rep Thursday suddenly makes him the healthiest running back of the top three options on the team's depth chart. Starter Tony Pollard (foot) downgraded from limited participation Wednesday to no activity Thursday, while third-string back Julius Chestnut (foot) was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant. The status of Pollard heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers is of greater import to Spears, who could find himself in a three-down role this weekend if Pollard is forced to miss his first game of the season. When he was available for the Titans' first six games, Spears had filled a complementary role behind Pollard and averaged 5.5 carries and 2.0 targets per contest during that stretch.
Spears (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Spears is hoping to return Sunday against the Chargers after sitting out the previous three games. He has a chance to avoid a Week 10 injury designation by upgrading to full participation Thursday or Friday. Even if he suits up, Spears will likely be limited to a change-of-pace role behind Tony Pollard.
Spears (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest versus the Patriots. Spears followed up a limited practice Wednesday with no work Thursday and Friday, which was enough for the Titans to rule him out for a third straight contest. Meanwhile, starting RB Tony Pollard (foot) didn't log any activity this week but is listed as questionable for Sunday. If Pollard doesn't play, Julius Chestnut will be the favorite to lead Tennessee's backfield, with Joshua Kelley likely getting called up from the practice squad for a backup role.
Spears (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Spears was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, so his downgrade in participation a day later is concerning. Meanwhile, Tony Pollard has missed consecutive practices with a foot injury, leaving Julius Chestnut as the healthiest RB on the Titans' active roster, while Joshua Kelley and Jabari Small currently are on the team's practice squad. In any case, Friday's injury report will add valuable context with regard to the composition of Tennessee's backfield ahead of Sunday game against the Patriots.
Spears (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Spears has missed the Titans' last two games, but head coach Brian Callahan noted Wednesday that the running back "should be good to go" Sunday against the Patriots, per Wyatt. While Spears seemingly has a good chance to play this weekend, it's notable that fellow running back Tony Pollard missed Wednesday' session with a foot injury. The activity of both of the Titans' top two running backs will thus warrant monitoring over the next two days before Tennessee determines whether either or both carries an injury designation into Sunday's game.
Spears (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Lions, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports. Spears managed to practice in limited fashion all week, but it wasn't enough to clear him ahead of a difficult matchup against the Lions. Expect Tony Pollard to once again see a healthy workload one week after racking up 18 total touches in the absence of Spears.
Spears (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions. Spears logged three consecutive limited practices as he tries to limit his absence due to this injury to just one game. If Spears suits up, he would likely return to a change-of-pace role behind Tony Pollard.
