Who Should I Start? Tyrion Davis-Price or Jawhar Jordan

The Tennessee Titans waived running back Tyrion Davis-Price on Thursday and signed free-agent running back Jordan Mims in a corresponding move, according to TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt. Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are the Titans clear top two RBs going into the 2025 season, so Julius Chestnut, rookie Kalel Mullings and Mims will compete for backup work. Davis-Price will most likely pass through waivers unclaimed and will be free to sign with another team looking for more backfield depth heading into training camp. The 24-year-old was originally a third-round pick (93rd overall) by the San Francisco 49ers in 2022 out of LSU, but he did not pan out in the Bay Area in two seasons before playing in one game for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024. He has only 43 rushing attempts in his three seasons for 127 yards and no touchdowns in eight games (no starts).

The Houston Texans reached injury settlements with rookie running back Jawhar Jordan (oblique) and defensive tackle Pheldarius Payne (hamstring) on Tuesday, waiving them from Injured Reserve. Jordan was taken in the sixth round this past April out of Louisville by the Texans, but he won't make his NFL debut in Houston. The 25-year-old will need to prove his healthy before potentially joining another organization, most likely on the practice squad. Jordan lacks size and physicality, but he could eventually develop into a third-down back somewhere if he can stay healthy because of his vision on the field and his blocking skills in pass protection. Payne, 24, is expected to join the team's practice squad after reaching an injury settlement. He suffered his hamstring injury in the team's preseason finale.
