KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A former Kansas City Chiefs cornerback is facing league discipline before the start of his first season elsewhere.

Cornerback Nazeeh Johnson, who Kansas City drafted in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, was suspended Friday for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy.

Johnson signed a one-year, $1.075 million deal with the Titans this offseason.

The NFL’s suspension for Johnson was for six games. He played two games with the Chiefs in 2025 and started six of the 16 games he played for Kansas City in 2024.

In 2023, he missed the entire year with a torn ACL suffered in training camp with Kansas City.
