The Tennessee Titans are fresh off their win against the San Francisco 49ers, which is something that is worth celebrating. There were plenty of players who played well while others played badly. This is something that will control how the game-day roster plays out, but a recent situation will keep one of the players from having a chance to even make the team.
Recent news about Nazeeh Johnson being suspended has circulated. Here is what we know now.
Why Nazeeh Johnson Is Being Suspended

"Titans defensive back Nazeeh Johnson has been suspended for the club's first six regular season games without pay for violating the NFL's Performance-Enhancing Substances Policy. Johnson is eligible to participate in all preseason activities, including games. The suspension will begin on August 30 and he will be eligible for reinstatement on Monday, October, 19," Jim Wyatt said when discussing the reasoning for why Johnson is being suspended.
How Big of a Loss Is This for the Tennessee Titans

Johnson being suspended is a big loss, but not for the reasons that some may think. Johnson had no chance of being a starter for the Titans, but he was one of the players who could be considered a priority backup. As of now, it seems like Johnson is going to be a backup cornerback spot, and someone who could have made the roster, but with the suspension, it now seems that his job will be taken by someone else.
He had the opportunity to be considered one of the players with the best chance to succeed off the bench, but this will be a big setback that he may never find his way back from. If the Titans look to fully move on, you can't blame them, as they have to find the best players to fit the roster, with limited roster spots. In fact, there are only 53 players who can be on the field during the season, but Johnson may never be one of the 53 now that this has happened.
