Overview
- The signing was reported by the player’s agents and an NFL reporter and brings former Kansas City defensive back Nazeeh Johnson onto the Titans’ roster to compete for a reserve cornerback or safety role.
- Johnson spent his pro career with the Chiefs after rising from a Marshall walk‑on to a 2022 seventh‑round pick and has 66 tackles, one sack, 29 games and six starts on his NFL record.
- Availability is a central concern because Johnson missed the entire 2023 season with a torn ACL and most of 2025 with a shoulder injury, so his role in training camp will depend on how he responds to contact and conditioning work.
- He visited the Eagles and Giants earlier in the offseason and is expected to contribute on special teams while competing behind established Titans defensive backs for defensive snaps.
- The signing reunites Johnson with GM Mike Borgonzi, who was in the Chiefs’ front office when Johnson was drafted, and it gives Tennessee short‑term depth while the team evaluates health and roster needs in camp.
