The Tennessee Titans came together to support team legend Chris Johnson by taking part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk joined board co-chair Kenneth Adams IV, general manager Mike Borgonzi, president and CEO Burke Nihill, head coach Robert Saleh, along with team executives and staff members. Their participation followed Johnson’s announcement in June that he had been diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). The Titans shared video from the challenge, encouraging fans to join them in showing support and raising awareness. The event reflected the Titans’ commitment to standing with Johnson while shining a spotlight on ALS research. To see more from the special day, watch the video and browse the gallery below.

Titans Challenge NFL Teams to Join the Cause

During the event, the Titans challenged NFL teams across the league to participate in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The campaign first captured worldwide attention in 2014 and continues to raise awareness and funding for ALS research. The team also encouraged fans and fellow organizations to support the cause by donating through TennesseeTitans.com/CJ2k. The initiative reinforced the Titans’ commitment to supporting Johnson while helping advance research for the devastating disease.

Johnson’s impact on the Titans extends far beyond this moment. Selected with the 24th overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, he spent six seasons in Tennessee and became one of the NFL’s most electrifying running backs. During his historic 2009 season, Johnson rushed for 2,006 yards, becoming just the sixth player in league history to eclipse the 2,000-yard mark. He also recorded 503 receiving yards, finishing with an NFL-record 2,509 yards from scrimmage. That remarkable season earned him the iconic nickname “CJ2K” and cemented his place among the greatest players in Titans history.

Titans to Honor Johnson During 2026 Season Opener

Johnson will receive another well-deserved honor this season when he is inducted into the Titans Ring of Honor. He is also a three-time Pro Bowl and will be recognized during halftime of the team’s 2026 season opener on Sunday, September 13, at Nissan Stadium. The ceremony celebrates Johnson’s remarkable career and lasting impact on the organization. As the Titans continue supporting him in his battle with ALS, fans will have another opportunity to celebrate one of the greatest players to ever wear two-tone blue.
