Pollard delivered his best performance in a Titans uniform with 129 rushing yards, 3 touchdowns, and 5.0+ yards per attempt against Cleveland in Week 7. The breakout outing came with Tyjae Spears and Nicholas Singleton inactive, giving Pollard a clear path to volume.

Titans RB on expiring contract facing uncertain future with the team. The source states it's difficult to envision GM Mike Borgonzi re-signing Pollard after a lackluster 2026 season, as Tennessee's rushing offense ranks 27th in the NFL and the team is exploring veteran free-agent RB options to support Cam Ward.NegativeDepth ChartOct 14, 2026

Running back Tony Pollard was limited to 3.7 yards per carry, rushing for 52 yards on 14 attempts in Week 5 against Houston.

Pollard has been used as the Titans' workhorse with 54 carries for 221 yards and 1 TD through 4 weeks, but the source notes this plan 'got old fast' as the Titans rank among the worst offenses in the NFL; the team is struggling with run game execution overall despite Pollard's heavy workload.PositiveValueOct 6, 2026
Veteran running back Tony Pollard is in a contract year and unlikely to be brought back by Mike Borgonzi in 2027, making him a trade candidate before the Nov. 10 deadline. The source identifies Pollard as a trade target because trading him would create more opportunities for Nicholas Singleton and allow the Titans to evaluate if Singleton can be a backfield solution next season. Pollard should have some value around the league as a consistent down-to-down runner, but his contract-year status and the Titans' 0-4 record make him expendable for draft capital.NegativeUsageSep 27, 2026
