NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The receiver-deficient Tennessee Titans were awarded Damaris Johnson off waivers from the New England Patriots.
Johnson signed in New England on Dec. 1 and was with the Patriots for only two games. He played three snaps in the Dec. 6 loss to the Eagles, taking a jet sweep carry 7 yards. The Patriots cut him to make room for Leonard Hankerson, who was cut by Atlanta.
In four seasons, Johnson played for Philadelphia, Houston and New England, totaling 44 games, 52 catches, 601 yards and a touchdown.
At 5-foot-8 and 175 pounds, he's the smallest receiver on the Titans' roster.
He came into the league as an undrafted free agent in 2012 with the Eagles. In a three-year college career at Tulsa, he became the NCAA’s career leader in all-purpose yards.
The Titans moved Derick Morgan to IR to clear the roster spot.
