NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans are placing running back Tyjae Spears on injured reserve, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Spears suffered a high ankle sprain in the preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Aug. 9. The injury happened just before halftime when Spears caught a pass out of the backfield for a 13-yard gain. He limped off the field and was quickly placed on a cart that took him into the locker room. He was later seen with a walking boot on his right foot.
The move means Spears will miss at least the first four games of the season.
