Titans Get Tyjae Spears and $45 Million Man Cor'Dale Flott Back Just in Time for Giants Matchup

The Tennessee Titans are officially dodging a Sunday afternoon disaster class. According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, running back Tyjae Spears and cornerback Cor'Dale Flott are both active against the New York Giants after spending the week wearing the questionable tag.

If you were holding your breath on a Titans team total or sweating a backfield prop bet, you can finally exhale. Late-week questionable tags are the absolute bane of every sports bettor's existence, turning a perfectly good Sunday morning into a frantic refresh of the inactive list.

"Mike Garafolo tweeted: '#Titans RB Tyjae Spears is active. Same with former #Giants CB Cor’Dale Flott. Both were listed as questionable.'"

Spears looked like a genuine scratch earlier in the week. The running back sat out practice on Wednesday and Thursday with an ankle issue before logging a limited session on Friday. With Tony Pollard also nursing an ankle injury of his own, the Tennessee backfield was dangerously close to looking like a preseason rotation.

Then there is Flott, who gets the ultimate revenge game opportunity. The Titans did not hand the former Giants defensive back a three-year, $45 million deal with $32 million fully guaranteed just to watch him sit on the sideline in sweatpants against his old employer. He has been battling a quad injury all week, but $32 million guaranteed is a pretty good painkiller.

Both teams desperately need something positive to happen on a football field today. Tennessee is trying to bounce back from a tight 24-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, while the Giants are currently scraping themselves off the turf after getting dismantled 28-6 by the Los Angeles Rams.

Now we get to see how much of a workload Spears can actually handle on a bad ankle. The Titans will likely monitor his snaps closely, but just having him in uniform changes the math for the Giants defense. As for Flott, expect him to play with the kind of unhinged energy that only comes from wanting to ruin your former team's weekend.
