During the second quarter of their preseason game against Tampa Bay, Tyjae Spears suffered a lower right leg injury. Early indications are that this is a high ankle sprain, and Spears is likely to miss 4+ weeks, putting his status for Week 1 in doubt. Any time that Spears misses should boost Tony Pollard into the RB1 conversation. In 4 games without Spears in 2024, Pollard averaged 22 carries for over 100 yards and 4.5 targets for nearly 16 yards per game.
