Tanoh Kpassagnon previously visited the Titans. That workout clearly went well, since a deal for the veteran defensive end is now in place.
Kpassagnon signed with Tennessee on Friday, per a team announcement. The 32-year-old will now look to carve out a depth role ahead of roster cuts. As a veteran of 116 combined regular and postseason games, Kpassagnon will offer plenty of experience to the Titans as they prepare for their first season under head coach Robert Saleh.

The Titans also announced that cornerback Nazeeh Johnson has been placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Johnson was set to begin the campaign by serving a six-game PED suspension before being eligible to play for Tennessee. Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 reports Johnson recently underwent successful ankle surgery. Instead of being in line to return to the fold following his suspension, however, the 28-year-old is now set to miss all of 2026.
In other roster news, Tennessee has signed linebacker Milo Eifler. The former UDFA has totaled 17 appearances in his career, split between Washington, Atlanta and Arizona from 2021-24. Eifler has played just six defensive snaps in the regular season to date; his chances of landing on the roster in this case will no doubt be tied to his special teams work.
In a corresponding move to the Eifler addition, tight end Matt Lauter has been waived. An undrafted rookie, Lauter originally joined the Raiders but he had been with Tennessee since signing earlier this week. His run in Nashville is now set to end in short order with a trip to waivers.
