The Tennessee Titans<\/a> may have yet another running back injury to deal with before the regular season kicks off.<\/p>\n

In the third quarter of the Titans’ preseason game against the Vikings on Aug. 22<\/a>, rookie Kalel Mullings was taken out of the game with an injury.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on the second half kickoff as receiver Chimere Dike ran out of bounds around the Titans<\/a>‘ 40-yard-line. On the television broadcast, it appeared Mullings was stepped on by another player. He was led off the field by a trainer and was not putting much weight on his leg.<\/p>\n

Mullings had six carries for 27 yards in game and was a big part of the Titans’ first scoring drive. The rookie out of Michigan had 948 yards rushing for the Wolverines<\/a> in 2024, adding 12 rushing touchdowns.<\/p>\n

An injury to Mullings would not help the Titans’ running back situation – backup Tyjae Spears injured his ankle<\/a> in the Titans’ first preseason against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> on Aug. 10.<\/p>\n
