Tennessee Titans linebacker Arden Key will be eligible to play in the team’s opening game after he won his appeal against a suspension.
Back on July 30, Key was initially suspended by the league for six games for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drugs policy.
But his appeal was successful – meaning the Titans’ gamble of having Key take first-team reps despite the possible punishment has paid off.
Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons posted on Twitter that Key won his appeal and added the caption, ‘See you guys Sept 8.’
Last season was Key’s first in the Music City with the Titans – where he had six sacks in seventeen games.

Key managed six sacks last season with the Titans – his first season in Tennessee
That was just half a sack short of his career high of six-and-a-half sacks, which he set back in 2021 with the San Francisco 49ers.
Key is a seven-year veteran of the NFL after spending his college years at LSU.
Tennessee is coming off a 6-11 season – their worst by winning percentage since 2015.
Games that Key is now eligible for includes the opener against the Chicago Bears on September 8 and games against the Jets on September 15, the Packers on September 22, the Dolphins on September 30, the Colts on October 13, and the Bills on October 20.
