NASHVILLE – The Titans have added a key piece to what's expected to be a rebuilt secondary.
On Thursday, the team officially agreed to terms with veteran cornerback Chidobe Awuzie.
Awuzie began his NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys, who drafted him in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
More recently, Awuzie spent the past three seasons with the Bengals, where new Titans head coach Brian Callahan served as offensive coordinator.
