Titans postponing Chris Johnson's Ring of Honor induction ceremony since former RB, family unable to travel for opener
Johnson is battling ALS, a diagnosis he revealed in June.
The Tennessee Titans announced on Friday that they are postponing the Ring of Honor induction ceremony for Chris Johnson. This decision comes due to "unforeseen circumstances" affecting Johnson and his family's ability to travel to Nashville for the upcoming Week 1 game against the New York Jets. Johnson, who has played six seasons with the Titans, is battling ALS, a condition he disclosed in June.
The team expressed their desire for Johnson and his family to be present in person for the induction, but have decided to move the event to a later date. The halftime ceremony on Sunday will still honor Johnson's significant contributions to the team, keeping his legacy alive for the fans. The Titans shared their continued support for Johnson and his wife, Brittany, in the statement.
