-Titans running back Tony Pollard racked up 154 yards of total offense against the Patriots, the second most in a game in his NFL career.
Pollard ran for 128 yards, and he had 26 more in receiving yards. Pollard now has 622 rushing yards on the season, and 757 scrimmage yards.
Heading into this Sunday's game vs the Chargers, Pollard said he's enjoyed having a bigger role in Tennessee.
"I am just going out there, being an athlete, making plays," Pollard said. "I just have to be ready for whatever happens, and try to make the most of it."
Here's a look at all the injury updates from Thursday:
-Quarterback Will Levis (right shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
I wrote a separate story about Levis today. You'll find that below:
