It was a random non-contact drill way back during preseason camp in August that sent Tennessee Titans safety Johnathan Cyprien to the injured reserve. He missed the entire 2018 campaign, and the team was forced to look at the free agent market to replace him. Thank goodness for Kenny Vaccaro, am I right?
Still, Cyp was a key cog in the Titans defense and one of the more underrated safeties in the entire NFL. That was a tough loss to incur.
Well, here we are – six months later, and Cyp appears to be getting back into the groove on the football field.

Okay, so this is absurd.
You know what would happen if I tore my ACL? I’d be in a wheelchair until I retired. Hell, I might never walk again. What’s the point? Some busted ass knees – only thing walking around’s going to do is risk further injury. Put my soft fat ass on a couch for the rest of my days.
Maybe if the office is wheelchair accessible, I can get in and do some light typing, but even that is asking a lot.
Point is, I sure as shit wouldn’t be running around, cutting, and doing football drills within six months of injury. That’s absurd – the only exercise I’d be getting six months after blowing out my ACL is lifting Cheetos to my mouth.
Therefore, I think it’s only logical to assume that Cyp is actually a mutant. You know – y’all have seen X-Men, right? The good ones – before they ruined it with that Apocalypse bullshit. That’s Cyp. He’s the Titans’ version of Wolverine.
Don’t worry, Cyp – if that NFL star ever starts to fade, there’s a man named Charles Xavier with a school somewhere you could probably be a teacher at.
Thank you all for reading this piece of exemplary journalism today.
Oh, what’s that? Y’all wanted real analysis and commentary? Well, shame on you for coming to SoBros Network for that. Lower your expectations of us.
But, for real – happy to see Cyp out there running around. The Titans have an interesting decision to make, but boy – I tell you what. A defensive backfield that features all three of Cyp, Vaccaro, and Kevin Byard? The thought of that is insane. I’m not even mentioning all the cornerbacks, either. That would have to be one of the best and deepest secondaries in the entire league. I hope they get it done.
Let’s go, #CypSquad.
