"Chris Johnson hasn't lost his grip as the starting running back, Titans Coach Mike Munchak said on Monday.

Even though Johnson and backup Javon Ringer had the same number of carries against the Colts, the coach said that doesn't mean it will happen again this Sunday when the Titans (4-3) play the Bengals (5-2) at LP Field.

"It's no different than it was last week. C.J. is the starter, like he has been. He will start the game, and Javon will roll in there, depending on how the things go," Munchak said. "Nothing has changed. We don't feel any different about Chris Johnson. We still believe in him."

Through seven games, Johnson has 302 yards on 107 carries for a 2.8 average per carry."
