Who Should I Start? Tyrion Davis-Price or Jonathon Brooks

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 Carolina Panthers placed running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday, meaning he will not play at all in the 2025 season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Brooks tore his right ACL in Week 14 of his rookie season in 2024, his second ACL tear in as many years. The 21-year-old didn't make his NFL debut until Week 12 last year and played in just three games before unfortunately suffering another ACL tear. In his three games with Carolina, the second-rounder (46th overall) out of Texas had nine carries for 22 yards and caught all three of his targets for 23 yards. It's been a tough last couple of years for Brooks, who probably will never be the same runner he was before tearing his right ACL twice. The Panthers will move forward with Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle and rookie Trevor Etienne as their RBs in 2025.
