Titans Host TE Jody Fortson for Visit After Knee Injury Recovery

The 30-year-old free agent seeks a deal after an ACL‑meniscus tear cost him all of 2025.

Overview

  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Fortson is visiting Tennessee today after being cleared from his 2024 ACL and meniscus injuries.
  • All 24 of Fortson’s NFL appearances came with the Chiefs, and Titans GM Mike Borgonzi previously worked in Kansas City.
  • Fortson logged 14 receptions and four touchdowns in 2021–22, missed 2023 with a shoulder injury, and appeared in three games in 2024.
  • He then suffered the knee tear before the 2025 season, prompting a yearlong absence, and is now healthy per the report.
  • Tennessee lost Chig Okonkwo in free agency, added Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Granson, and holds the league’s most cap space, with any Fortson deal expected near the minimum.
