The Tennessee Titans postpone Chris Johnson’s Ring of Honor induction ceremony after the team says unforeseen circumstances prevent his family from traveling to Nashville in time for the scheduled event. The induction was expected to take place at halftime of the Titans’ season opener on Sunday against the New York Jets.
Multiple reports say the decision follows Johnson’s announcement earlier this year that he is living with ALS. Yahoo Sports notes the Titans delay the ceremony one day after Johnson shared updates on his condition, and that the team cited his family’s inability to travel as the reason for postponement. The Winnipeg Free Press also reports the ceremony is held up due to travel issues involving Johnson’s family.
Across the outlets, there is agreement that the postponement is tied to logistics for Johnson’s family rather than a change in the planned recognition itself. The reports do not provide a new ceremony date.
