Who Should I Start? Kalel Mullings or LeQuint Allen Jr.

Sunday, September 7, 5:06 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) exited during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. He is officially questionable to return. The rookie had not registered a statistic prior to his departure. Mullings entered this weekend listed as questionable with an ankle injury, so it's possible that he re-aggravated an existing ailment. With Tyjae Spears (ankle) on IR and Mullings sidelined for the moment, Tennessee's only healthy running backs are Tony Pollard and Julius Chestnut.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie LeQuint Allen Jr. is the team's top pass-blocking running back and is "likely to play a critical role on third downs," John Oesher of Jaguars.com writes. The seventh-round pick from Syracuse totaled just two carries in the preseason, but he did finish the exhibition schedule tied for the team lead in catches (eight). That's not surprising, as the dual threat wrapped up his three-year run in college last season with a personal-best 64 receptions. If Allen's going to make an impact with the Jags this season, it seems likely he'll have to do it in the passing game as part of a crowded RB group. He's behind Travis Etienne Jr., Tank Bigsby, and rookie fourth-rounder Bhayshul Tuten on the depth chart, which means touches will be hard to come by in 2025.
