In March, the Titans released safety Johnathan Cyprien to clear cap space while the safety worked on recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last August.
After months and months of work, Cyprien has continued that rehab process and he’s reportedly progressed to a point where he’s ready for football work. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Cyprien has been cleared to get back on the field.
Schefter added that Cyprien has heard interest from multiple teams and that he is expected to sign with a team before training camp starts this summer.
Cyprien had 57 tackles and a sack in 10 starts for the Titans in 2017. He spent the first four years of his career with the Jaguars.

Being out for so long is devastating to any fierce competitor. But Cyprien found a silver lining in the timing of his injury and believes he will be in better shape when he returns.
“A lot of guys get injured during the year, come back too early and don't look the same,” Cyprien said. “One good thing is the time I got hurt. It allowed me to have until next August to be 100 percent and compete in training camp.”
He rehabbed at the Titans' facility during the season instead of going back to Miami because he wanted to be around his teammates. Being around the guys during the week helped him keep a positive mindset and allowed him to remain close to the game.
While he may, or may not, return to Tennessee this season, Cyprien is ready to show that he is back and ready to produce this coming season.
