Tony Pollard

Titans head coach said RBs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are “both starting players to [him].”

The Titans have a revamped backfield following Derrick Henry’s departure, with free agent signing Tony Pollard coming in next to second-year back Tyjae Spears. Titans head coach Brian Callahan discussed how the backs will be used for the team’s website. He said, “Maybe they both play at the same time, maybe one gets hot and you let him run, maybe we just rotate back and forth... they are both going to play quite a bit of football for us, and I don’t view either one of them as a starter or a back-up.” It is getting clearer that the Titans would like both backs to see opportunities. Spears will stay involved with his pass-catching and burst while Pollard leads the way an additional year removed from a fractured fibula. Both will get opportunities, though Pollard is the pre-season preference, being the veteran free-agent signing who has seen a large opportunity share before.
