Titans' running back duo faces skepticism ahead of 2026 season
Summary

The Tennessee Titans are set to rely on a running back pairing of Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears for the upcoming 2026 season. Despite some strong individual performances, questions remain due to the duo's lackluster overall production last year. The Titans added Nick Singleton to the roster, yet this unit continues to receive low rankings in offseason assessments, with their run efficiency cited as one of the league's worst. Ongoing scrutiny surrounds their ability to perform effectively under new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll after a tumultuous previous season. Preparation for the new season is critical for this group to prove their worth.
