Tennessee Titans running back Dexter McCluster was back at practice in a full capacity on Thursday. He left Sunday's game against the Cowboys in a walking boot due to a right foot injury. He is expected to play against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3.
Dexter McCluster back to a full practice and could lead to RBBC for fantasy owners
Dexter McCluster was back at practice in a full capacity on Thursday. We break down the fantasy implications.

The Titans gave McCluster 10 touches in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, so he's carved out a nice little role as a change-of-pace back for his new team. The Titans do not have much in the play-making department with no wide receiver over 90 receiving yards so far this season -- tight end Delanie Walker leads the club with 179 receiving yards.
Running back Shonn Greene has been solid so far this year, posting 5.6 yards-per-carry in his two games. Meanwhile, the team hasn't taken the reins off rookie Bishop Sankey, which probably won't happen for the next month or so.
Fantasy impact: It’s going to be a three-way split for carries, which basically rules all three guys out as fantasy options. Sankey owners should just stash him for now while McCluster is just an RB4 in PPR leagues. Greene is not a starting fantasy option against a stout Bengals D.
