Johnson tweeted he was flying to Nashville last night and that he and his agent Joel Segal will meet with Reinfeldt this morning.

The three-time Pro Bowler has refused to report to camp despite having two years left on his contract. The Titans have said they will make him the highest paid running back in NFL history, but want him to report first before accelerating talks. Today’s meeting in Nashville might offer a way around that demand.

The Titans are willing to pay Johnson, who is scheduled to earn $1.065 million for 2011 after Tennessee revised his contract a year ago to get him more money. His original five-year contract was for $12 million, and Johnson said in 2010 he wanted around $30 million in guaranteed money.

The 5-foot-11-inch, 200-pound running back has led the NFL in yards rushing over the past three seasons since being drafted 24th overall out of East Carolina.

Patterson will play Eagles defensive tackle Mike Patterson, who collapsed and suffered a seizure at practice this month, will play tomorrow night against Cleveland.

Patterson was diagnosed with a brain AVM, or arteriovenous malformation, a prenatal condition in which blood travels abnormally between the arteries and veins.

Eagles trainer Rick Burkholder said last week that Patterson was cleared by four physicians specializing in brain AVMs to return to football. His condition will eventually have to be treated. But the method hasn’t been determined.
