What happened: The Titans posted a trio of light-blue hearts in recognition of Lou Gehrig Day, echoing a Yankees tribute noting that Ryan Weathers wore a Titans jersey for the occasion. The exchange centered on former Titan Tim Shaw, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2014 after six NFL seasons and has since become a prominent advocate.
Why it matters: Lou Gehrig Day is observed across professional sports to raise awareness and funds for ALS research. The Titans' gesture keeps the franchise publicly tied to Shaw's ongoing advocacy years after his playing career ended, reinforcing a cause the organization has championed.
What to watch: Watch for additional Lou Gehrig Day tributes across the league and any further updates tied to Shaw's foundation and ALS fundraising efforts.
