Titans Add Veteran to Stable of Running Backs
The Tennessee Titans are adding more talent to their running back room.
The Tennessee Titans bolstered their running back roster on Wednesday by signing veteran D’Ernest Johnson to a one-year contract. Johnson, 30, enters a competitive competition for roster spots alongside Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, Nicholas Singleton, and Michael Carter. Despite his recent struggles with the Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots, Johnson brings valuable special teams experience, having amassed over 900 career return yards, including four kicks in Super Bowl LV.
If Johnson can contribute as a reliable special teams player while showcasing offensive capabilities, he stands a chance of earning a spot on the Titans' active roster. Johnson's professional journey began as an undrafted free agent in 2018, before joining the Orlando Apollos of the Alliance of American Football in 2019. After impressing with the Cleveland Browns, he secured a 53-man roster spot and went on to play with the Jacksonville Jaguars, securing 251 rushing yards over two seasons.
