Tennessee Titans plan to induct former running back Chris Johnson into the franchise’s Ring of Honor during the team’s season opener against the New York Jets. Multiple outlets report that the honor comes after Johnson reveals he has been diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). Johnson disclosed his ALS diagnosis in June, and the induction is presented as recognition of his contributions to the franchise. Sources also note Johnson’s status as one of the top statistical running backs of his era, including that he is among the small group of NFL players who have rushed for at least 2,000 yards in a season. The scheduled induction ties the celebration to the Titans’ upcoming kickoff event, with the Jets matchup serving as the backdrop for the franchise’s acknowledgement of Johnson. The articles are consistent on the timing (during the season opener), the specific honor (Ring of Honor induction), and the diagnosis being ALS, while emphasizing Johnson’s former performance as a standout runner for the team.
