NFL Rumors: Titans' Arden Key Suspended 6 Games for Violating PED Policy

Tennessee Titans linebacker Arden Key has been suspended for six games after violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drugs policy.

Turron Davenport of ESPN reported the news. Titans coach Brian Callahan offered no comment Tuesday when asked about the pending suspension.

"I don't have much to comment on it until that comes out from the league," Callahan said. "It's not something that you want to hear, but we don't have a choice. We have to go play football with what we have."

Key was slated to start at outside linebacker for the Titans in 2024. He recorded 30 tackles and six sacks during his first season in Tennessee after signing a three-year, $21 million contract.

The Titans could seek to move on from Key, as the suspension voids any guarantees on his contract. If Tennessee retains Key through his suspension, he will lose $88,230 in per-game bonuses on top of $501,176 in salary.

Rashad Weaver, Caleb Murphy and Jaylen Harrell will get a chance to replace Key in the lineup. Key previously played for the Las Vegas Raiders, San Francisco 49ers and Jacksonville Jaguars.
