Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson left in the first quarter of Sunday's contest against the Green Bay Packers with a right ankle injury.

Johnson was tackled for a 3-yard loss late in the first quarter and as Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews took him to the ground, his ankle got caught underneath Matthews.

He immediately went to the sidelines and his return is questionable.

Johnson entered Sunday's action with 1,159 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 244 carries.

    BOISE — Hundreds of friends — a who’s who in political, legal, historical and literary circles — gathered in Barber Park to celebrate the life of retired Supreme Court Justice Byron Johnson, who died Dec. 9, 2012.

    Friends remembered several “practice wakes” that Johnson held when he was younger, and in that spirit, the event included music, toasts, poetry, the Idaho City Marching Kazoo Band, right, and other festivities — not to mention four cases of wine, a keg of beer and 12 large bottles of George Dickel Whisky, Johnson’s favorite.

    The wake ended with a traditional Dixieland funeral march, complete with festive umbrellas, above, and a borrowed coffin — Johnson was cremated.
