Stafon Johnson suffers another serious injury..

[Upton]

Titans running back Stafon Johnson was lifted onto a cart and driven off the field Saturday night in Tennessee's 20-18 preseason loss to Seattle.

He suffered a dislocated right ankle, an injury that almost surely will cost him his rookie year with the Titans.

It's almost as if he is cursed by injuries. Last Sept. 28 he was lifting weights at USC when a barbell loaded with 275 pounds slipped. The bar came down and crushed his larynx, necessitating emergency surgery.

It was an injury that could have been fatal, and for the better part of a month, Johnson had to live with a breathing tube getting him the oxygen he needed.

He worked like a maniac to get his health back, and did enough that he signed with Tennessee as an unrestricted free agent. He'd carried the ball three times Saturday for 23 yards and seemed to be making a good impression when his right foot was caught underneath him on a swing pass near the end of the third quarter.

2. When his ankle twisted and stayed that way...

...I knew his season was probably over.

Dude's a hard worker, though. He'll be back.
