What happened: Nazeeh Johnson said he took the medication while he and his wife were trying to conceive, unaware it contained a banned substance. He said they lost a baby several weeks ago and have nine eggs remaining as they continue trying to grow their family.
Why it matters: NFL policy allows players to seek therapeutic-use exemptions for certain prohibited medications taken under medical supervision. The suspension reduces Tennessee's cornerback depth for the first six regular-season games.
By the numbers: The unpaid ban begins Aug. 30 and will cost Johnson slightly more than $350,000, roughly one-third of his 2026 salary.
What to watch: Johnson will be eligible for reinstatement Oct. 19.
