Andre Johnson: Retiring from football
Andre Johnson notified his teammates Monday morning that he intends to retire from the NFL, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.Johnson's apparent decision comes after he's caught just nine passes through eight games for the Titans this season. At 35 years old, Johnson is nowhere near the peak of his powers, which saw him reel off seven seasons with at least 1,110 yards through his first 11 years in the league. Johnson also posted five 100-catch seasons during that span, which coincided with seven Pro Bowl selections while with the Texans. The third overall pick in 2003, Johnson ends his career with a Hall-of-Fame resume, and his absence from the Titans could result in more snaps for Rishard Matthews, Kendall Wright and Harry Douglas going forward.

Titans' Andre Johnson: Catches second touchdown of 2016
Andre Johnson secured two of four targets for 13 yards and a touchdown Sunday in Miami.Johnson has emerged as a red-zone weapon for quarterback Marcus Mariota, as his two receiving touchdowns lead Tennessee Titans wide receivers and are tied for the overall team lead with tight end Delanie Walker and running back DeMarco Murray. While the Titans prefer to run the ball in tight, they do skew the veteran's limited snaps such that he's on the field more in higher-leverage situations. Johnson still hasn't topped 33 receiving yards in a game this season, so he serves more as a vulture to Tajae Sharpe and Rishard Matthews than as a viable stand-alone option himself.

Titans' Andre Johnson: Held catchless against Oakland
Andre Johnson was targeted three times, but did not make a catch in Sunday's loss to the Raiders.Johnson has been able to reel in just one-third of the dozen passes that have gone his way this season and is clearly behind Rishard Matthews and rookie Tajae Sharpe in the pecking order among receivers. There's a chance that things could turnaround and Johnson could become a decent reserve option like he was in spurts in Indianapolis, but with the Tennessee Titans averaging less than 14 points per game - it'd take a big leap of faith to say that opportunity is about to knock.

Titans' Andre Johnson: Catches game-winning touchdown against Lions
Andre Johnson was targeted only twice, but scored a nine-yard touchdown on his lone catch Sunday in Detroit.Johnson was trusted when it mattered most, hauling in the game-winning touchdown with 1:13 to play. The 35-year-old veteran doesn't have the legs to play on every snap, but his experience and work ethic have earned him an important role on a young Tennessee Titans team. This likely won't be his last major contribution.

Titans' Andre Johnson: Catches three of seven in Titans debut
Andre Johnson caught three of his seven targets for 30 yards in his Tennessee Titans debut Sunday against the Vikings.Johnson tied for second on the team in targets, but finished fifth in yardage. While quarterback Marcus Mariota likes to spread the ball around, the veteran wide receiver is clearly one of his preferred options. It remains to be seen whether Johnson still has enough of his eroding skills left to take advantage of this attention from the young signal caller.

Titans' Andre Johnson: Makes 53-man roster
Andre Johnson was one of six wide receivers to make the Tennessee Titans 53-man roster Friday.Johnson came over on a minimum-salary deal following a disappointing 2015 campaign with the Colts, but earned significant praise from coach Mike Mularkey while coasting onto the final roster. The veteran will be joined by Kendall Wright, Rishard Matthews, Tajae Sharpe, Harry Douglas and Tre McBride. He likely ranks third behind Matthews and Sharpe among outside receivers, but should mix in quite a bit in Week 1 if his usage in Week 3 of preseason was any indication.
