Titans' Kalel Mullings: Shifts to IR
Rotowire
Mullings (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
The 2025 sixth-round pick from Michigan played through an ankle injury in the Titans' Week 3 loss to the Colts, logging eight special-teams snaps. However, he began Tennessee's week of practice with consecutive DNPs and has now shifted to IR, suggesting the injury worsened in Week 3. With Mullings out for at least the Titans next four games, the team is down to just two healthy running backs on the active roster: Julius Chestnut and Tony Pollard.

Titans' Kalel Mullings: Pushing for roster spot as rookie
Rotowire
Mullings will compete with Julius Chestnut for a roster spot during training camp, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Mullings missed time with an injury to his abdomen immediately after being drafted in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but he participated in minicamp and will be a full go for training camp. He is regarded as a good downhill runner, but his primary role, if he makes the team, will come on special teams to begin his rookie campaign.

Titans' Kalel Mullings: Limited at rookie minicamp
Rotowire
Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Saturday that Mullings (abdomen) is recovering from core muscle surgery and will be limited at rookie minicamp, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.
Tennessee selected Mullings in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft with knowledge of his offseason procedure, so his current capped participation level at rookie minicamp is simply the result of following his recovery timetable. Once fully healthy, Mullings will work to earn a depth role behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears (concussion). Callahan said the Titans are "just being careful with [Mullings] at this point," per Zach Dimmitt of SI.com.

Titans' Kalel Mullings: Lands in Music City
Rotowire
The Titans selected Mullings in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 188th overall.
Mullings played linebacker for most of his first three seasons at Michigan before focusing on running back for the final two years. In his fifth season, Mullings served as the lead back in a tandem with Donovan Edwards, generating 948 yards and 12 touchdowns on 185 carries (5.1 YPC). He failed to demonstrate pass-catching chops, however, so his path to playing time in Tennessee is hazy behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears.
