The Tennessee Titans issued a statement following former running back Chris Johnson announcing his ALS diagnosis on Monday.
“Some people leave a mark on an organization that you just can’t put into words,” controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said. “Chris Johnson is one of those people for us. His leadership on the field, in addition to his impact in the locker room and Nashville community have written him permanently into the story of this franchise.
“Learning this news is extremely difficult, and we will support Chris every step of the way throughout this journey.
“We are holding him and his family close, and join our fans around the world in expressing our love for Chris.”
