Pollard (ankle/illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pollard was previously listed as questionable for the contest with an ankle injury, but with the running back now also dealing with an illness, he's been downgraded to out by the Titans. With Pollard unavailable, Tyjae Spears is slated to lead the team's Week 17 backfield, with Julius Chestnut and Joshua Kelley on hand to mix in.

Pollard, who was previously listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars with an ankle injury, is also dealing with the flu, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Fowler, Pollard -- who had planned to play through his ankle issue -- isn't expected to travel with the Titans on Saturday. If he's deemed unable to play Sunday, Tyjae Spears would be in line to see an expanded role in the team's Week 17 backfield.

Pollard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pollard didn't practice at all this week, but that was also true last week when he ended up playing in a 38-30 loss to the Colts. He's ceded more work to Tyjae Spears the past couple games, in part because the Titans have played from behind, although it also seems the ankle injury and Spears' performance have been contributing factors. While Pollard still figures to be the lead runner if he avoids the inactive list before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, his workload projection is a far cry from what he experienced as recently as 3-to-4 weeks ago.

Pollard (ankle) wasn't seen at practice Friday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pollard will finish Week 17 preparations without logging any practice reps, but Friday's injury report will reveal whether he has a chance to suit up regardless Sunday against the Jaguars. He played against the Colts in Week 16 despite logging three DNPs in practice, but Pollard was limited to a 39 percent snap share. If Pollard's sidelined or limited, Tyjae Spears -- who has four touchdowns in the last two games -- would stand to benefit.

Pollard (ankle) wasn't spotted on the field for Thursday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pollard will go down as a non-participant for the seventh time on the Titans' last eight practice reports, but the running back has yet to miss a game. However, after sitting out all three of the Titans' sessions last week before taking a questionable tag into the weekend, Pollard played a season-low 40 percent of the offensive snaps in a 38-30 loss to the Colts. Even if Pollard is able to suit up again this Sunday in Jacksonville, he could once again find himself in a timeshare out of the backfield with Tyjae Spears, who played the other 60 percent of snaps last week and scored two touchdowns while accounting for 66 yards from scrimmage on 13 touches (10 carries, three receptions).

Pollard (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pollard didn't practice at all last week due to the ankle injury before approaching this past Sunday's loss to the Colts listed as questionable. The running back was able to suit up for the contest, but he played a season-low 39 percent of the offensive snaps and carried eight times for 35 yards to go with two receptions for five yards on four targets. With no reported setbacks coming out of that contest, Pollard's lack of participation Wednesday could be maintenance-related.

Pollard rushed eight times for 35 yards and brought in two of four targets for five yards in the Titans' 38-30 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also had a two-point conversion rush.

EDGE Analysis

Pollard was ultimately the more efficient on the ground between him and backfield mate Tyjae Spears, but the latter recorded two rushing touchdowns while also logging two additional carries and one more target. Pollard did post a scoring run when he punched in a two-point conversion after Spears' first touchdown late in the third quarter, but he's now recorded under 50 rushing yards in five of the last seven games while also dealing with a nagging ankle injury. The division of labor in the Titans' backfield is an unwelcome open question for fantasy managers heading into championship weekend in many leagues, and Tennessee will visit the Jaguars next Sunday.

Pollard (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Pollard is active after logging only a limited practice session Friday. He saw his snap count limited in Week 15 due to the same lingering ankle issue, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Tyjae Spears get more involved once again while Pollard receives more limited volume.

Pollard (ankle) is expected to play Sunday against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pollard has played in every game for the Titans this season despite dealing with lingering foot and/or ankle injuries for over a month. The 27-year-old has been in and out of practice for much of this time period, and he did not practice Wednesday or Thursday before logging a limited session Friday. Pollard is still listed as questionable, so his official availability will be revealed 90 minutes prior to kickoff at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Pollard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after not practicing this week, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fortunately for those who would normally consider Pollard in fantasy lineups, the Titans kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, a scenario that would in most cases allow fantasy managers to turn to Week 16 pivot options if he's sidelined. If Pollard ends up limited or out versus Indianapolis, Tyjae Spears would be in line to see an expanded backfield role for Tennessee this weekend.
