Section 310 Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 I cannot believe there has been no thread on Landon Johnson'sshoulder. He hurt it before halftime and actually had to leavethe game in the 3rd quarter. This has me worried. Theguy went through offseason surgery to get past this problem.I fear this could be a nagging injury that keeps him lessthan 100% for weeks at a time. I know that the Bengals are saying he is fine, but what elseare they going to say? If Landon has them worried, theyneed to pay Pollack and get him in camp.If Landon is hurt, we are very thin at LB.

Kirkendall Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 He had the same bum shoulder during his 133 tackle rookie campaign. If anyone can fight through it, I'm sure Landon can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section 310 Posted August 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 It was not the same shoulder ... You're right. It was not the same shoulder. Nonetheless, the guy seems to have a propensity for shoulder problems. OUCH: Linebacker Landon Johnson left the field holding his left shoulder late in the second quarter. Johnson had surgery on his right shoulder in the offseason.Johnson returned in the first defensive series of the third quarter and dropped New England running back Patrick Pass for a three-yard loss on a run play.Later in the third quarter, though, Johnson came out again. Johnson walked into the locker room with Dr. Angelo Colosimo, the team's orthopedist.The official announcement from the Bengals was that Johnson had a shoulder injury and his return was questionable. He had ice on the shoulder after the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPW Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 “It’s OK. I just iced it down,” said Johnson as he left the locker room Friday night. Odell was also iced down after the game, my guess is that a lot of players were.While I certainly understand your concern, I think that sometimes we (as Bengals Fans) tend to worry too much.Like the guy who kept saying over and over how he is now worried about Palmer.Let's all Hope that Landon has an injury-free season ...

Stripes Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 I'm sure he'll be fine. I think if were anything to be concerned about, we'd know that for sure. He said he's fine, and that'll have to be good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
