Chris Johnson is scheduled to have surgery this week to repair a torn meniscus in his knee. Here is what Jim Wyatt had to say about it on Twitter:

Minus the playoff game in his rookie year where he laid down, Chris Johnson has been a very durable player. That, in fact, has been his best asset during the last 3 years. You didn't know what kind of production you were going to get form him, but you knew he was going to be out there.

It will be interesting to see if this hurts his value at all when he hits the open market after the Titans cut him.
