Former first-round pick Hakeem Nicks is visiting the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday.

Nicks, an unrestricted free agent wide receiver who played for the Indianapolis Colts in 2014 after five seasons with the New York Giants, caught 38 passes for 405 yards and a touchdown last season.

Nicks visited the San Francisco 49ers in March but was not offered a contract.

The 27-year-old was drafted in 2009 by the Giants to replace Plaxico Burress.

Foot and knee injuries slowed him in his final two seasons with the Giants and Nicks was mostly a role player in multiple-receiver packages for the Colts.
