Is Tony Pollard playing today? Titans RB's status revealed for Week 15 game vs Bengals

Tony Pollard left the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent after the 2023 regular season and was promptly snapped up by the Tennessee Titans. While the Titans are having a tough season, Pollard is well on track to his third consecutive 1,000 rushing yards season.

Let's examine Pollard's availability ahead of the Titans' Week 15 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Is Tony Pollard playing today?

According to CBS Sports, Tony Pollard will likely play in Sunday's game against the Bengals. The former Cowboys standout is dealing with an ankle injury but has been listed as questionable for Week 15.

Pollard started the week on the injury report. He did not participate in Wednesday and Thursday's practice sessions but ended the week as a limited participant on Friday. Thus, the Titans are optimistic about having him on the field against the playoff-chasing Bengals.

Pollard isn't the only Tennessee Titans star listed on the injury report as questionable. Linebacker Otis Reese (ankle), offensive lineman Jaelyn Duncan (hamstring) and cornerback Roger McCreary (shoulder) all enter today's game with the questionable designation on their player profiles.

How is Tony Pollard performing this season?

The Tennessee Titans brought in Tony Pollard as a direct replacement for future Hall of Famer running back Derrick Henry. That'll be a challenging task for any RB in the modern NFL, but Pollard has done a decent job in his first year in Tennessee.

Pollard has amassed a stat line of 213 carries (ninth in the NFL), 937 rushing yards (also ninth) and four rushing touchdowns. He's also added an impressive 233 receiving yards for good measure in his 13 games. Pollard has been among the few bright spots on a shaky Tennessee offense in the 2024 regular season.

The Titans have won just three games all season against the Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars. They're on track to get a top-five pick in the upcoming draft, and they will have to be in their gear against a Bengals team that is particularly dangerous on the offense. It could be a long day in Week 15 for Pollard and Co.
