Tennessee Titans player Nazeeh Johnson says his six-game NFL suspension for a performance-enhancing drug (PED) violation resulted from fertility medication he used while trying to conceive. Johnson states the suspension is linked to treatment taken during efforts to become pregnant with his wife.

According to Johnson, he and his wife undergo fertility therapy amid infertility struggles, and he believes the banned ingredient came from that medical process. He says he took the substance without knowing it contained something prohibited under league rules.

The outlets describe the same core account: Johnson’s suspension is tied to fertility-related medication during conception attempts, and he frames the issue as inadvertent rather than intentional PED use. Both reports focus on his explanation for how a PED-related suspension can occur during medical treatment and the personal context of infertility.
