BengalsMan3203 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that Chad Johnson has a torn labrum in his shoulder, but plans to play through it.Johnson did 21 pushups in front of the media Monday. He's in a harness and would need season-ending surgery if the shoulder popped out again, but considers that "unlikely." The signs are pointing to Chad facing Baltimore, but he may have a hard time making it 16 games. Patriots CB Ellis Hobbs played through a torn labrum in 2007, for what it's worth. Pain tolerance could be a big factor for Johnson and he may consistently miss practice time all year.Just what we needed to hear... Love him or hate him... We need him....

ShulaSteakhouse Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Yikes. That's a much different story than a separated shoulder.He'll play through it, but Db's will be looking to take him out every time he catches something. Might not be the best year for smack talk.

volcom69 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Wondering now if they shouldnt pick up another wide reciever in case Johnson goes down. Im wondering if they will be looking around to who gets cut and if any younger vetrans are out there i wonder if they will give them a look. This dosnt sound to good if he makes it through the season thats great but im not going to get my hopes up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Appearently Winslow played with the same injury last year, so I guess all we can do is hope everytime he takes a hit, his season isn't over...WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't happy unless he is on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
