What has changed: Tyjae Spears has served notice: He is the most talented running back acquired by the Titans since they drafted Derrick Henry in the second round in 2016. He’s going to matter this season.

I thought Jonathan Ward would make this team as the No. 2 third-down back, with Julius Chestnut essentially backing up Henry. But Ward hurt his knee in the preseason opener and, though Hassan Haskins is also nicked up now, he and Chestnut do enough on special teams to both make the team.

The story went on to say: Chestnut was the star Saturday with 98 yards rushing and a touchdown rushing and receiving. His TD catch was excellent, and everyone should listen to Vrabel when he says Chestnut, “embodies what we believe in.” It seems like a crowded backfield behind Henry, but it sounds like Spears could have a role in the offense with, perhaps, Chestnut an injury away from a significant role.

Running backs James Conner (ribs) and Darrel Williams (knee) were listed as non-participants in practice on Tuesday.

Both players were out of practice on Monday and all of last week as well, so getting the green light to play against the Saints on Thursday looks like a long shot. Benjamin started last Sunday and ran 15 times for 37 yards. He’s been listed as limited this week because of a foot injury.

On top of James Conner likely missing this week and likely the next, the Cardinals are also expected to be playing without backup running back Darrel Williams due to a knee injury. Plus, they’ve placed running back Jonathan Ward on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.

The Seahawks' defense has allowed the most yards and second-most touchdowns on the ground while allowing the fifth-highest yards per attempt. Eno Benjamin looks to be operating in the workhorse role while Conner nurses up, which makes him an RB2 play in fantasy this weekend.

On the Cardinals RB situation: James Conner is dealing with a rib issue, status will be clearer later in the week.

The tweet went on to say Williams sprained his knee and is out this week and Ward is dealing with a hamstring injury and is on IR, per Tom Pelissero. The team recently signed Clement and Williams to the practice squad. One name not mentioned in terms of injuries is Benjamin, so if Conner is unable to go in Week 6, Benjamin would likely get a huge workload. Against the Eagles, Benjamin had eight carries and scored a TD while adding three catches. He's worth picking up if he's on your wire.
