Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears was placed on injured reserve Tuesday as he works his way back from a high-ankle sprain.
The move will keep Spears off the field for at least the first four games of the season for the Titans.
Spears, who was spotted this week in a walking boot, sustained the injury on Aug. 9 during Tennessee's 29-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a preseason game. He missed the club's last two preseason games.
The Titans likely will rely on running back Julius Chestnut to provide support for starter Tony Pollard.
Spears, 24, rushed for 312 yards and four touchdowns and added 30 catches for 224 yards and one score in 12 games (one start) last season for Tennessee.
He has rushed for 765 yards and six touchdowns in 29 career games (two starts) since being selected by the Titans in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Tulane. He has caught 82 passes for 609 yards and two scores.
