Overview
- The Tennessee Titans announced Friday that they are postponing Chris Johnson’s Ring of Honor induction because he and his family are unable to travel to Nashville due to unforeseen circumstances.
- The club said Sunday’s halftime will remain dedicated to celebrating Johnson’s on-field achievements even though the formal, in-person induction will be held at a later date.
- The team statement gave no further medical or logistical details beyond the travel issue and the intention to reschedule the ceremony.
- Johnson went public with an ALS diagnosis this summer after living with the disease for about a year and discussed his condition and possible links to his playing career in a Sports Illustrated interview earlier this week.
- Johnson is one of the Titans’ most productive running backs, led the NFL with 2,006 rushing yards in 2009, and the postponement leaves fans and the organization waiting for a formal celebration that includes him and his family in person.
