News

  • Returning to Nashville

    Chestnut agreed Wednesday with the Titans on a one-year deal, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Sacred Heart product has inked a deal to return to Tennessee after taking 22 carries for 102 yards and catching two of his three targets for 11 yards across 17 games in 2024. Additionally, Chestnut played 225 special-teams snaps and tallied 337 kick-return yards. He's expected to play a similar role in 2025.

  • Contributes on special teams

    Chestnut rushed the ball 22 times for 102 yards across 17 games during the 2024 season. He added two receptions on three targets for 11 yards.

    Analysis: Chestnut served as Tennessee's third-string running back for most of the season, behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears (head). Chestnut did manage a career-high 22 carries, though his most significant step forward was his increased involvement on special teams, as he served as one of the team's primary kick returners and tallied 337 yards in the role.

  • Could be part of committee Week 18

    Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that Chestnut could be part of a backfield committee in Sunday's game against the Texans along with Joshua Kelley and practice-squad member Jabari Small, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Tyjae Spears (concussion) appears unlikely to play in the season finale, while starter Tony Pollard (ankle) sat out the Week 17 loss to the Jaguars and remains a limited participant in practice to begin Week 18 prep. Pollard could have extra motivation to try to play Sunday, as he's within reach of a few contract performance incentives. However, if Pollard and Spears are both sidelined Sunday, Chestnut would be the next man up, though he wouldn't necessarily take on a starter's workload if he…read more

  • Involved due to injuries

    Chestnut rushed the ball three times for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jaguars. He did not record a catch on one target.

    Analysis: Chestnut was primarily involved on special teams but saw his involvement tick up after Tyjae Spears (concussion) was sidelined in the fourth quarter. Tony Pollard's (ankle/illness) status still is in question, which could set up Chestnut for a Week 18 start against Houston.

  • Quiet as backup

    Chestnut rushed the ball once for three yards in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Texans. He added one reception on one target for two yards.

    Analysis: Chestnut was pushed into the backup running back role with Tyjae Spears (concussion) sidelined. However, he managed only two total touches and isn't likely to be a factor for fantasy purposes even if Spears remains sidelined for a Week 13 matchup against the Commanders.

  • Good to go vs. Bolts

    Chestnut (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Chestnut was limited for the Titans' final two practices of the week due to a foot injury, but it's not severe enough to prevent him from suiting up Sunday. Chestnut will be Tennessee's No. 3 running back behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears.

  • Questionable for Week 10

    Chestnut (foot) was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Chestnut popped up on Thursday's injury report due to a foot issue, which limited him over the last two practices. If Chestnut cannot play Sunday, the Titans may elevate Jabari Small to serve as the No. 3 running back behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears.

  • Working through foot injury

    Chestnut (foot) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Chestnut was able to log a full practice Wednesday, but he was limited in Thursday's session due to a foot issue. His practice participation Friday will give a clearer indication on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers. Chesnut has served as the Titans' No. 2 running back behind Tony Pollard (foot) for the last three games while Tyjae Spears was sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Over that span, Chestnut has logged 15 carries for 69 yards while adding one catch for nine…read more

  • Sees five carries

    Chestnut rushed the ball five times for 22 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against New England.

    Analysis: Chestnut worked as the backup to Tony Pollard with Tyjae Spears (hamstring) sidelined for the third straight game. Pollard saw 31 total touches, leaving Chestnut with limited opportunity. Chestnut has 69 rushing yards on 15 attempts since Spears has gone down.

  • Tallies seven carries

    Chestnut rushed the ball seven times for 32 yards in Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Tyjae Spears (hamstring) was sidelined for a second consecutive week, which allowed Chestnut to see the highest carry total of his career. All of his rushing attempts came in the fourth quarter of the blowout loss, and he'll return to a special-teams role when Spears can return.

  • Earns four touches

    Chestnut rushed the ball three times for 15 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills. He added one reception on one target for nine yards.

    Analysis: With Tyjae Spears (hamstring) sidelined, Chestnut stepped up as the backup to Tony Pollard. He saw a season-high four touches and eight offensive snaps. However, even if Spears remains sidelined for a Week 8 matchup against the Lions, Chestnut will almost certainly maintain a muted role.

  • Earns one offensive snap

    Chestnut played one offensive snap and 17 on special teams in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Chestnut played exclusively on special teams in Week 1 and saw a similar role in Week 2. He did take the field for his first offensive snap with Tyjae Spears (ankle) sidelined, and Chestnut could enter a Week 3 matchup against Green Bay as the primary backup to Tony Pollard.

  • Plays exclusively on special teams

    Chestnut played 21 special-teams snaps in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Chestnut made the Titans' roster as the third running back but he didn't see an offensive snap in Week 1. So long as Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears remain healthy, that is likely to remain the case.

  • Heavy workload against Seahawks

    Chestnut rushed the ball 13 times for 45 yards in Saturday's 16-15 preseason win over the Seahawks. He added two receptions (on two targets) for 29 yards.

    Analysis: The Titans sat both Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, leaving Hassan Haskins and Chestnut as the top backs available. Chestnut was utilized as the starter and carried a heavy workload. The majority of his yardage came on a 22-yard rush late in the second quarter, though he also led off the team's first possession with a 15-yard reception. Chestnut could begin the season third on the running back depth chart, but that won't translate to much work out of the backfield.

  • Back from injury

    Chestnut (hamstring) participated in OTAs in May.

    Analysis: The running back spent most of 2023 on injured reserve, playing in only three games. Chestnut participated in six contests as a rookie the year before. Now that he's back, he'll get to compete for a role in the backfield behind free-agent signee Tony Pollard.

  • Returns to Tennessee

    Chestnut (hamstring) is re-signing with the Titans on a one-year contract, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Chestnut appeared in six games with Tennessee as a rookie in 2022 but was limited to three appearances in 2023 before going on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Once healthy, he'll compete for a depth role in a backfield now headlined by free-agent signing Tony Pollard rather than Derrick Henry.

  • Going to IR

    Tennessee placed Chestnut (hamstring) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: After sustaining a hamstring injury during Sunday's 27-3 loss at Cleveland, Chestnut will now have to sit out at least Tennessee's next four games as he recovers. He's the second Titans running back to go to injured reserve in as many weeks, so it would make sense for the team to sign another back in the coming days.

  • Will not return

    Chestnut (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Browns, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Chestnut went to the locker with the help of trainers after suffering the injury and was unable to put any pressure on his left leg. His absence will leave the Titans with just Derrick Henry and Tyjae Spears at running back for the remainder of the game.

  • Working behind Henry, Spears

    Chestnut played one of his 16 snaps on offense and went without a touch in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Chestnut has logged just six snaps on offense and has yet to record a carry or a reception while serving as the Titans' No. 3 running back behind Derrick Henry and Tyjae Spears. Unless one of the two players above him on the depth chart misses time for whatever reason, Chestnut doesn't look as though he'll be in line for a regular role out of the backfield.

  • Survives cutdown day

    Chestnut has a spot on Tennessee's initial 53-man roster, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: The pecking order appears clear, as rookie third-round pick Tyjae Spears worked ahead of the other backs all preseason and thus figures to be the No. 2 RB behind Derrick Henry. The No. 3 role then fells to Chestnut, who appeared to overtake Hassan Haskins (undisclosed) even before Haskins' combination of an injury and off-field issue landed him on injured reserve and then the commissioner's exempt list. Haskins will be out for at least the early part of the season and the Titans didn't sign any…read more

  • Stands out in preseason finale

    Chestnut took nine carries for 30 yards and two catches for 42 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 23-7 preseason win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Tyjae Spears repped ahead of the other backups as he has all preseason, with Chestnut taking over thereafter and making some big plays to ignite the Tennessee offense. Meanwhile, Hassan Haskins (undisclosed) and Jonathan Ward (knee) remained unavailable, leaving Jacques Patrick as the only RB left after Spears and Chestnut (a healthy Derrick Henry was unsurprisingly rested). Patrick did well with 17 touches for 94 yards, but Chestnut scored three TDs this preseason and may have earned the No. 3…read more

  • Finds role late in rookie season

    Chestnut ended the 2022 season with nine rushing attempts for 12 yards. He added three receptions for 41 yards and 215 kick return yards.

    Analysis: Chestnut joined the Titans as an undrafted free agent prior to the 2022 season. He was inactive for each of Tennessee's first 11 games but closed the season with an increased role as he suited up for the final six contests. While Derrick Henry will continue to dominate carries out of the backfield in 2023, Chestnut could be a valuable special teams contributor, as he chipped in at least 40 kick return yards in three of the last five games to close 2022.

  • Makes impact as pass catcher

    Chestnut rushed the ball four times for minus-one yard in Thursday's 27-13 loss to the Cowboys. He added one reception for 33 yards.

    Analysis: Chestnut played 14 offensive snaps, second on the team behind Hassan Haskins. He was bottled up on the ground, though he did manage to set the Titans up for a field goal with his 33-yard reception late in the second quarter. With Derrick Henry (hip) expected to return in Week 18 against Jacksonville, Chestnut will slip back to third on the running back depth chart.

  • Signs with active roster

    Tennessee signed Chestnut to its active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Chargers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: With fellow reserve running back Dontrell Hilliard (neck) landing on the injured reserve list Saturday, Tennessee saw fit to bring Chestnut on board to provide some depth at tailback. The rookie undrafted free agent has taken five carries for 13 yards and caught two passes for eight yards through two games this season.

  • Bumps back down to practice squad

    Chestnut reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Chestnut was elevated from the practice squad for the second time in as many weeks ahead of Sunday's loss to Jacksonville. With Hassan Haskins (hip) inactive and Trenton Cannon (knee) on IR, the undrafted rookie served as Tennessee's third-string running back behind Dontrell Hilliard, who was forced out with a neck injury. Chestnut did not record a rush across his seven offensive snaps, but he did haul in both of his targets for eight yards. He also returned two kickoffs for 53 yards across 12…read more

  • Bumped up from practice squad

    Chestnut was elevated to the active roster Saturday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Chestnut will be on the field with the Titans for a second consecutive game. Hassan Haskins (hip) has yet to be ruled out as he was last week, although Chestnut's elevation would seem to foreshadow that he will be.

  • Returns to practice squad

    Chestnut reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Chestnut received the promotion with Hassan Haskins (hip) out. He saw seven snaps on offense against the Eagles, which led to five carries for 13 yards, all occurring in garbage time. Depending on Haskins' status for Week 14 against the Jaguars, Chestnut could find himself back with the active roster.

  • Makes 2022 debut

    Chestnut rushed the ball five times for 13 yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Chestnut was elevated from the Titans' practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles and was active for the first time this season. He saw all of his work in garbage time, with Derrick Henry and Dontrell Hilliard both being rested at that point. Chestnut will revert back to the practice squad in the coming days but could serve as depth once again before the regular season concludes.

  • Back with Tennessee

    Chestnut was elevated to the Titans' active roster Saturday, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Chestnut has bounced between the Titans' active roster and practice squad for much of the season, and he'll get another opportunity to register playing time with Hassan Haskins (hip) sidelined.

    Analysis: Chestnut was on the team's 53-man roster, but he was waived from it Saturday. He now rejoins the team, but this time on the practice squad. He'll use the opportunity to earn a chance to get back on the active roster.

    Chestnut has been waived by the Titans, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Assuming Chestnut clears waivers, he will be a likely candidate to land back on Tennessee's practice squad. He did not see any offensive snaps during the first three weeks of the season.

  • Tallies 10 carries in preseason win

    Chestnut carried the ball 10 times for 35 yards in Saturday's preseason win over Tampa Bay. He added two receptions for 10 yards.

    Analysis: Chestnut was the third Tennessee back to earn a touch, behind both Dontrell Hilliard and Hassan Haskins. He had a few significant runs late in the game that helped pad his yardage total, and he also made a tackle on special teams. The latter is his likeliest path to a roster spot, as he appears to be buried on the depth chart behind Derrick Henry and both Hilliard and Haskins.
