Tony Pollard News
Wednesday, November 11, 7:38 AM
Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi agreed with the sentiment that running back Tony Pollard is important for second-year quarterback Cam Ward's growth and development when he was asked about why the team did not trade Pollard at Tuesday's deadline, according to Ben Arthur of FOX Sports. Pollard definitely drew interest around the league because he is still on the right side of 30 and is on an expiring contract on a Titans team that is 1-7 through the first nine weeks of the 2026 season. The former fourth-rounder from Memphis in 2019 has not been much of a pass-catcher (14 catches for 70 yards) this year, but on the ground, he has been one of the more quietly consistent RBs in the league, especially in the last five weeks. Pollard has carried the ball 133 times for 595 yards (4.5 yards per carry) and six rushing touchdowns in eight games played. He is well on his way to setting a new career high in rushing TDs if he can stay healthy in the second half. In the last five weeks, Pollard ranks as the RB8 in half-PPR scoring with 374 rushing yards and five touchdowns. Now that he is staying in Tennessee for the rest of the 2026 season, the Titans could consider signing Pollard to a contract extension before free agency in March.

Travis Etienne Jr. News
Wednesday, November 11, 12:02 PM
New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) was back at practice on Wednesday and looked pretty active, according to Saints reporter Jeff Nowak. Nowak expects Etienne to be listed as limited when Wednesday's report comes out. Etienne remains on Injured Reserve and has not played since the team's Week 3 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, but he is getting closer to a return and could be activated in time to face the division-rival Carolina Panthers this Sunday if he does enough in practice this week. The 27-year-old was signed in the offseason to be the Saints' primary backfield option while ceding pass-catching duties to Alvin Kamara. Fantasy managers who scooped up Audric Estime off the waiver wire this week might be disappointed if Etienne makes his return this weekend, although the former first-rounder could be limited to a smaller package of plays after his injury layoff. Etienne is shaping up as an RB3/flex option for fantasy managers if he is back in the fold against Carolina. In his first three games with the Saints, he handled 30 carries for 128 yards (4.3 yards per attempt) while catching 11 of 13 targets for 51 yards in the passing game. Etienne is still searching for his first touchdown with New Orleans.
