A mauler at 6-foot-2 and 226 pounds, Mullings might be able to carve out a role for himself as a distinctly different type of runner than the rest of the backs in Tennessee's backfield. His short-yardage rushing data was among the best in the incoming rookie class on a per-opportunity basis, Mullings just did not receive many opportunities. A fifth-year breakout who totaled only 50 rushes before his final collegiate season and finished college with 10 total receptions, Mullings misses nearly any analytical benchmark that Fantasy drafters are looking for. He is not worth drafting outside of the deepest leagues.

Titans' Kalel Mullings: Dealing with ankle issue
Rotowire
Mullings suffered an ankle injury during Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.comreports.
Mullings got some reps with Cameron Ward, leading the backfield during Tennessee's second offensive possession. He picked up 27 yards on six carries prior to his injury, though he did also cede a goal-line carry to Julius Chestnut. An initial diagnosis suggests that Mullings' ankle injury is minor, but his status will be worth monitoring as a Week 1 matchup against the Broncos nears.

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.
