Titans OC Nick Holz noted Tuesday that RB Tony Pollard "wore down a little bit" last year. "We gotta get Julius Chestnut and Kalel Mullings ready to take some of the workload off of Tony this week," Holz added.
The Titans are placing RB Tyjae Spears on IR, knocking him out for the first four games of the season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Spears suffered a high-ankle sprain in Tennessee's preseason opener on August 9. It was obviously a significant injury to land him on IR. Spears was still in a walking boot this past weekend.
Titans HC Brian Callahan said Tuesday that he's looking for a more even distribution of touches this season between RBs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. He added that he might even get a third RB — Julius Chestnut or Kalel Mullings — involved.
The Tennessee Titans selected Michigan RB Kalel Mullings with the 188th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Blake Corum left for the NFL in 2024, and Mullings filled the void as Michigan’s starter. He’s a massive back at 6’1, 226 pounds and brings the impressive power to match. There’s not much nuance to his game, but it’s worth noting that the Massachusetts native joined Michigan as an LB. His first carry didn’t come until his third season, so we could be looking at a late bloomer. Realistically, Mullings won’t add much in the receiving game, as he exits college with 10 targets (8 catches). Look for him to contribute on special teams while he develops at RB.
