ALS has taken almost everything from Chris Johnson. But his kids, he writes, give him the strength to keep fighting.
Johnson, a Tennessee ****** ans franchise icon, wrote an open letter to his children via the Players' Tribune published on Thursday, Sept. 10. In the letter, Johnson described his journey from initial symptoms of the motor neuron disease to where he has ended up 18 months later.
The former ****** ans running back detailed how his first alarming symptoms presented: a water bottle feeling heavy on a road trip in March 2025. From there, Johnson said he met with multiple doctors before getting a possible diagnosis of ALS, and he recounted the fear he and his wife felt about the uncertain road ahead.
CHRIS JOHNSON: Former RB getting a top ****** ans' honor after ALS diagnosis
By the time he joined fellow former NFLer Michael Strahan on "Good Morning America" to publicly announce his ALS battle in June of this year, Johnson had lost the ability to speak.
