Stafon Johnson, the running back who had his rookie season with the Titans derailed by a leg injury after having his senior season at USC derailed by a weightlifting injury, is suing his former school.
Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports that Johnson’s attorney has called a press conference for Monday to announce the filing of a personal injury lawsuit against USC.
In September of 2009, Johnson dropped a barbell on himself while bench pressing in USC’s weight room, causing serious injuries to his throat that ended his football season and forced him to be hospitalized for three weeks.
After going undrafted, Johnson signed with the Titans only to suffer an ugly ankle dislocation in a preseason game, ending his rookie year in August.
