The NFL suspended Tennessee Titans defensive back Nazeeh Johnson six games on Friday for ​violation of the league’s ‌policy on performance enhancing substances.

Johnson, 28, will begin his suspension when the Titans open the regular season Sept. 13 ‌at ​home against the ⁠New York Jets. ⁠He will be eligible to return Oct. 25 in a home game against the Cleveland Browns.

Johnson ​will be allowed to participate in practices with the Titans ⁠and is eligible ⁠to play in all ​preseason games.

Heading into his fourth full ​season, and his first with the ‌Titans, the seventh-round draft pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022 has 66 tackles (three ⁠for loss) and three passed defensed in 29 career games (six starts).

Johnson won a Super ⁠Bowl ‌ring as a rookie ⁠with the Chiefs in ​2022 ‌but did not play ​in 2023, ⁠when Kansas City repeated as champion, because of an ACL injury. He signed a free-agent deal with the Titans in late July.
