Chris Johnson has skipped Tennessee’s offseason conditioning program thus far, which is the same thing he did last year before running for 2,000 yards. Fair enough.
On Tuesday, Johnson took his displeasure over his contract situation a step further.
Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports Johnson did not show for the first day of Organized Team Activities Tuesday. He’s not expected to show up for a second practice later this week.
Last year, Johnson was present for the Titans’ OTAs. It’s uncertain if he’ll skip all voluntary work this offseason, but this is a story that could grow.
We’ve previously written that Johnson’s contract could become a problem, as the 30% rule and his status as a third-year player makes a deal unlikely.
