Tennessee Titans Chris Johnson Limited in Practice; Will Play

by Jimmy on Dec 22, 2011 2:17 PM CST in Tennessee Titans News

Chris Johnson returned to practice today on a limited basis. Mike Munchak said after practice that CJ should be good to go against the Jaguars. That is good news considering the only other running back we have on the roster is Jamie Harper. Harper ran well in the preseason, but he is not a feature back in the NFL.

This brings up an interesting question- Why have the Titans not signed another running back, or at least brought Herb Donaldson up to the active roster? They did re-sign Quinn Johnson this week, but he is not going to be running the ball.

They are obviously confident CJ will be able to play, but what if he tweaks that ankle early in the game? Then it will be all on the shoulders of Harper. What happens if he gets hurt? Does Ahmard Hall become the feature back? So many questions....

Maybe they have decided just to scrap the running game and throw the ball on every down.

Hall has been taking snaps at RB this week. I expect we'll see him there at least some

I would so love to see Hall get carries at RB and have more yards a carry than CJ.

That guy actually runs with heart and enthusiasm.

Maybe they are more interested in using big bodied, pile pushers in the running game

that will gain at least some yards, rather then -3,-1,7,0,-5,4, etc..

Sounds like a damn fine plan to me

Locker has a receiver either side;
Locker fumbles the snap;
Picks it up, sprints out to the right;
Looking;
Fires deep downfield
MAN IS WIDE OPEN!!

You were being generous with the 7 in there.

I hope we see a lot more Harper Saturday.

Is it possible CJ averages a negative number this week?
