The Tennessee Titans will need to figure out what to do with running back Chris Johnson in the offseason, but first they will need to see how quickly he is able to recover from offseason surgery for a torn meniscus.

Johnson rushed for 1,077 yards and six touchdowns in 2013, but that is impressive after learning that he suffered the meniscus tear in Week 3 against the San Diego Chargers.

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports passed along the news:

Titans RB Chris Johnson gutted out almost all of 2013 season with a meniscus tear in his knee. Will finally have it repaired tomorrow...

Johnson injured knee Week 3 game, chose to play out season with injury, still grinded out 1,000 yds. Should be healthy by time market opens

With the knee injury and the fact Johnson has been slowing down in recent years, there is a real chance that the Titans could choose to let him walk in free agency.
