Titans' Julius Chestnut: Role slips further
Chestnut recorded one carry for three yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over Arizona. He did not catch his only target.
Chestnut was on the field for only three offensive snaps while slipping to third on the Tennessee depth chart due to the return of Tyjae Spears. Chestnut has not attempted more than two carries in a game this season.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: Seven snaps in Week 4
Chestnut recorded one rush for zero yards and failed to record a catch on one target in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans.
Chestnut remained the backup to Tony Pollard, though he was on the field for only seven offensive snaps. He has earned no more than two carries in a game this season and could shift down the depth chart in Week 5 if Tyjae Spears (ankle) can return.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: Maintains backup role
Chestnut rushed the ball two times for 26 yards in Sunday's 41-20 loss to the Colts.
Chestnut got consecutive carries on the Titans' opening drive of the third quarter, accounting for his only touches in the game. He still operated as the team's backup to Tony Pollard, even with the return of Kalel Mullings. Chestnut looks likely to remain in that role until Tyjae Spears (ankle) is healthy enough to be activated from injured reserve.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: No stats in Week 2
Chestnut played seven offensive snaps and 20 special teams snaps in Sunday's 33-19 loss to the Rams.
Tony Pollard was the only Titans' running back to record a touch in Sunday's loss. That relegated Chestnut to empty snaps, even as the team's only other active back.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: Two touches in Week 1
Chesnut rushed the ball twice for two yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Broncos.
Chestnut served as the Titans' top running back behind Tony Pollard but still had only a peripheral role in the offense. Tyjae Spears (ankle) will remain sidelined for at least three more games, while Kalel Mullings (ankle) was also shaken up in Sunday's loss. That leaves Chestnut as Pollard's clear backup for the foreseeable future.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: Looks to be Pollard's backup
Chestnut is listed as the No. 2 RB on the Titans' unofficial depth chart released Tuesday.
Chestnut looked to be in position to earn the backup role to Tony Pollard after Tyjae Spears suffered an ankle injury in the Titans' first preseason contest, though he did split reps with Kalel Mullings (ankle) in the final preseason game. With Spears set to miss at least the first four games of the season, Chestnut should mix into the offense early in the campaign.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: Splits reps with Mullings
Chestnut rushed the ball five times for 28 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings.
Chestnut drew the first carry of the game but rotated out for the first half of Tennessee's second drive, giving way to Kalel Mullings (ankle). Notably, Chestnut did get the nod at the goal line to cap a Titans' scoring drive with Cameron Ward under center. There are several questions about the running back depth chart heading into Week 1 of the regular season, as both Tyjae Spears (ankle) and Mullings are currently beat up, meaning Chestnut could have a clear path to the backup role to Tony Pollard.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: Starts with Pollard resting
Chestnut started Friday's preseason win over Atlanta, rushing four times for 16 yards while catching his only target for seven receiving yards.
Chestnut got the nod with the first-team offense with Tony Pollard (rest) and Tyjae Spears (ankle) missing Friday's exhibition. The 24-year-old Chestnut was slated to begin the season as the Titans' No. 3 tailback, but the high-ankle sprain Spears suffered last week could push Chestnut up the depth chart. Pollard is healthy and still the clear No. 1 option in Tennessee, so Chestnut's fantasy value wouldn't see a huge boost if he were to start the regular season as the primary backup.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: Third running back to enter game
Chestnut carried the ball three times for 18 yards in Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.
Chestnut was the third Titans' running back to enter the game behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears (ankle), though he did cede one carry to Kalel Mullings on his opening drive. Chestnut and Mullings are likely to continue to battle for positioning on the running back depth chart during the preseason, which has potentially taken on additional importance due to the injury to Spears.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: Facing competition
Chestnut is likely to battle with Kalel Mullings for a roster spot during training camp, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Chestnut has been with the Titans for three seasons, though he had his most extensive involvement in 2024. That came primarily via special teams, which could help him in his competition with Mullings this summer. Wyatt projects that the Titans will carry three backs on the roster with one more on the practice squad, so Chestnut could stick around even if he isn't on the active roster.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: Returning to Nashville
Chestnut agreed Wednesday with the Titans on a one-year deal, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The Sacred Heart product has inked a deal to return to Tennessee after taking 22 carries for 102 yards and catching two of his three targets for 11 yards across 17 games in 2024. Additionally, Chestnut played 225 special-teams snaps and tallied 337 kick-return yards. He's expected to play a similar role in 2025.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: Contributes on special teams
Chestnut rushed the ball 22 times for 102 yards across 17 games during the 2024 season. He added two receptions on three targets for 11 yards.
Chestnut served as Tennessee's third-string running back for most of the season, behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears (head). Chestnut did manage a career-high 22 carries, though his most significant step forward was his increased involvement on special teams, as he served as one of the team's primary kick returners and tallied 337 yards in the role.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: Could be part of committee Week 18
Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that Chestnut could be part of a backfield committee in Sunday's game against the Texans along with Joshua Kelley and practice-squad member Jabari Small, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Tyjae Spears (concussion) appears unlikely to play in the season finale, while starter Tony Pollard (ankle) sat out the Week 17 loss to the Jaguars and remains a limited participant in practice to begin Week 18 prep. Pollard could have extra motivation to try to play Sunday, as he's within reach of a few contract performance incentives. However, if Pollard and Spears are both sidelined Sunday, Chestnut would be the next man up, though he wouldn't necessarily take on a starter's workload if he does end up taking the Titans' first snap of the day. Chestnut has seen most of his playing time on special teams this season and has carried 20 times for 91 yards (4.6 YPC) to go with two catches for 11 yards on three targets over 16 appearances.

Titans' Julius Chestnut: Involved due to injuries
Chestnut rushed the ball three times for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jaguars. He did not record a catch on one target.
Chestnut was primarily involved on special teams but saw his involvement tick up after Tyjae Spears (concussion) was sidelined in the fourth quarter. Tony Pollard's (ankle/illness) status still is in question, which could set up Chestnut for a Week 18 start against Houston.
