Chris Johnson Reveals ALS Diagnosis, Plans to Fight and Inspire

Former Titans running back Chris Johnson announced he has ALS, sharing the news in a Good Morning America interview. Diagnosed last year, the disease has progressed rapidly and Johnson now uses a speech-generating device controlled by his eyes. He says if his story can spur earlier diagnosis, more research, or hope for families, it will be worth it, and he’s committed to fighting the disease while continuing his involvement with the Titans and his family.
