Team news: Tennessee Titans | Page 3

Giants WR Malik Nabers, who was limited at times in camp with a toe issue, isn't on the initial injury report, putting him on track to play Sunday vs. Washington.

LT Andrew Thomas (foot) was limited.

Nabers has a very real chance to lead all 2025 NFL wide receivers in target share; it's just a matter of how efficient those looks will be. If he's on the field, he's an automatic must-start, and we should expect a WR1 outcome against the Commanders.

Titans' first regular season unofficial depth chart for offense, which includes rookie WR Elic Ayomanor ahead of vet Van Jefferson.

Those in dynasty leagues should be familiar with Ayomanor who was on the radar as a later-round sleeper this past spring in dynasty drafts. It looks like Ayomanor is the team's third WR behind Ridley and Lockett. Perhaps the bigger question will be how QB Ward plays this season, but Ayomanor can officially be on the fantasy radar even in typical leagues.

OC Nick Holz: Feels like RB Tony Pollard is in a good place heading into the season, but we'll have to get other backs in the mix, whether it's Julius Chestnut or Kalel Mullings.

Spears is dealing with an injury and is on IR, missing the first four games of the season. While Pollard should get a nice workload, the team will get other backs involved like Chestnut and Mullings. Those two, however, aren't exactly household names which is why Pollard should be a nice start in fantasy lineups. Last year when Spears was out, Pollard's touches went from 16.4 per game to 24.2, so owners should expect an uptick at least until Spears is back.

Spears will now miss the first four games of the season. It should mean more touches for Pollard. As our own John Paulsen points out, Pollard’s workload increased from 16.4 touches per game with Spears to 24.2 touches in the five games that Spears missed last season.

Sources: The Lions are releasing QB Hendon Hooker.

Allen will now be the backup to Goff. The Lions were hoping Hooker would take over the QB2 duties, but it wasn't a good sign when Hooker played behind Allen in the final preseason game. Hooker is a former third round pick.

The Commanders and Terry McLaurin have agreed to a 3-year contract extension, source confirms.

Related players: Deebo Samuel, Noah Brown, K.J. Osborn, Luke McCaffrey, Jayden Daniels

The deal is said to be a 3-year extension worth over $96M, according to other sources. Daniels will get his top target back before Week 1 and pushes the rest of the team's WRs down the depth chart, including Samuel who now looks to be the WR2. McLaurin finally delivered a true breakout season - 82 catches, 1,096 yards, and 13 touchdowns - finishing as the WR6 last season.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears suffered a high-ankle sprain during Saturday’s preseason game against the Buccaneers and will miss a few weeks, according to head coach Brian Callahan.

Spears has a chance to be ready for Week 1 when the Titans visit the Broncos. That’s a positive update after Spears was carted to the locker room during the game. If Spears does have to miss any time, Tony Pollard will likely handle most of the work with Julius Chestnut sprinkled in, making Pollard an RB2.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears was carted off the field with an apparent lower leg injury.

Spears missed three games last season with a hamstring strain and also was bothered by an ankle sprain. Hopefully it’s not a serious injury for Spears but he limped to the sideline before being carted to the locker room. If Spears misses time, Tennessee’s running back room includes Tony Pollard, Julius Chestnut and Kalel Mullings.

Giants HC Brian Daboll says WR Malik Nabers, who injured his shoulder this week, is “good” and will practice today.

Great sign for a potential first-round selection in fantasy. The pass-catching corps is still light in New York, so he should continue to demand a massive target share in Year 2.

Malik Nabers banged up on a run play. On the ground for a few seconds. Grabbed at his shoulder as he walked off.

Nabers went into the field house with the Giants head trainer. Ronnie Barnes then came outside and gave HC Brian Daboll an update.

Nabers did not return to practice. He appears done for the day.

We haven't seen any follow-up reports quite yet, but it doesn't seem to be too grave an issue. We'll keep an eye on his status throughout the rest of the week.
