Chris Johnson -- Week 3 status (1 Viewer)

From SB Nation.....

Sep 21, 2011 - Chris Johnson, who held out the entire preseason before signing a four-year, $53 million extension, has struggled to live up to expectations thus far for the Titans. In his first two games, he's combined for just 79 yards, averaging a dismal 2.9 yards per carry.

After tallying just 15 touches (nine carries, six receptions) in Week 1 against the Jaguars, Johnson had 27 (24 carries, three receptions) in Week 2 against the Ravens. The increased workload apparently took its toll, as Teresa Walker of the AP reports on Twitter that Johnson missed practice with sore ribs. He's expected to be listed on the official injury report with a rib injury.

At this point it doesn't sound like there's a chance that Johnson will be sidelined for Tennessee's Week 3 matchup with the Broncos. In fact, head coach Mike Munchak said Johnson's soreness was expected after his workload last weekend, and both Johnson and Munchak expect Johnson will be able to resume practice on Thursday.

Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean also tweeted that Johnson told reporters "he is eager to get into open space on Sunday, and thinks he's getting closer to breaking free," which would be welcome development both for fantasy owners and Titans fans alike.

Oh noes! He has sore ribs and took a day off but will almost certainly be back at practice tomorrow!

Excellent. I just traded Steve Johnson and Ahmad Bradshaw for him. :bag:
What else happened?
That's it. I was stacked at WR and he was thin.
Interesting. How's your TE sitch? Everything good there? :popcorn:
We don't have the mandatory TE. Just start three WR/TE. I have Megatron, Britt, Lloyd, Jerome Simpson still. Need to pick up someone else as 3/4 are gimpy.
cool, who do you have your eyesball on?

Good news for #Titans on the injury front: Chris Johnson and Kenny Britt back at practice and looked good.

Well, since I just lost Jerome Simpson to his little side business, I'll have to do some serious looking. Keller is available (we only carry 14 on the roster so the free agent pool is not completely empty). Perhaps him. I'll do some digging.
