Johnson’s Debut Fails Titans Defense | Tennessee Titans News

The Titans gambled big by trading for Jermaine Johnson II, a former first-round pick of Saleh’s, hoping he’d be an instant defensive force — but his Week 1 debut was a disaster. Playing against the Jets in front of his old coach, Johnson vanished on film, recording just one QB pressure and getting brutal grades from PFF. With an expiring contract and a shaky 2025 season hampered by injury, this performance raises serious questions about whether Tennessee got the better end of the deal that sent T’Vondre Sweat to New York. The defense needs him to step up fast — especially against Philly in Week 2 — or this trade could turn into a costly mistake.
