Fluellen's season was cut short when he suffered a knee injury in the second half of the Week 10 win over the New England Patriots. He had gotten the most carries (three carries for 14 yards) of the season at running back when he went down with the injury against the Patriots. The Titans went on to place Fluellen on injured reserve on December 20, 2018.

In addition to being the third running back behind Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis in 2018, Fluellen proved to be a key member of the special teams unit for the Titans.

Fluellen has certainly earned his dues with the Titans. He was originally signed by the Titans on July 29, 2015. Fluellen went on to land on the practice squad for that season after being a part of final cuts to start the 2015 regular season. He also spent time on and off the practice squad during the 2016 season.

Fluellen made the active roster to start the 2017 regular season. He had the first three rushes (three carries for 18 yards) in the Titans 38-17 win over the Jaguars. He went to play in all 16 games in 2017. He saw action in seven games in 2018 before sufferring the injury against the Patriots.

Fluellen was originally signed as an undrafted free agent out of Toledo by the Philadelphia Eagles following the 2014 NFL Draft. He also spent time with the Indianapolis Colts during the 2014 season.

Honestly, Fluellen being versatile in playing special teams makes him a valuable back end of the roster guy for the Titans. Hence, the reason why general manager Jon Robinson and the Titans are offering him a tender contract offer. No word yet on the financials for the proposed offer.

Assuming Fluellen signs the one-year tender contract, the Titans will roll with the same three running backs for the 2019 season.
