Awuzie is expected to miss some time with a calf injury, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.
Signed to a three-year, $36 million deal by Tennessee during the offseason, Awuzie is expected to serve as the starter opposite fellow newcomer L'Jarius Sneed. The 29-year-old Awuzie is coming off a 2023 season with the Bengals that saw him record 57 tackles (43 solo) and six pass breakups. He hasn't picked off a pass since 2021 and hasn't played a full season since 2019 in Dallas.
