Chris Johnson shocked the world when he revealed earlier this summer that he had been diagnosed with ALS. CJ2K was one of the most dominant athletes on the planet when he played for the Tennessee Titans. It was shocking to see how quickly the disease has affected him.
The Titans announced today that they will induct CJ into the Ring of Honor on September 13th at halftime of the season opener against the New York Jets.
