Rudi Johnson stinger? (1 Viewer)

Sounds minor but wondering if anyone else has heard anything:

Aug 21 Johnson did not participate in afternoon practice with the Bengals after injuring his right foot in the morning session, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Do you mean splinter? or bee sting?

sorry fellas thought a stinger was a "wimp" injury not to be taken serious, didnt realize it was a real term. The great thing about the shark pool is we are consistently learning.

All things considered, is Rudi OK?

What I'm finding is that he originally hurt his right foot in practice last week August 16th. I'm not sure if its the same injury but yahoo's player page lists it as not being specified even than.

You know how you hit your funny bone and your arm sort of tingles and you can't feel your fingers but the pain is tolerable?Imagine that starting around your neck and shoulder...either left or right side of your body...and not being able to really feel anything down to your toes/fingers on that side but...but...the pain is briefly about a million more times more painful than tweaking your funny bone. Stingers, while not necessarily serious, hurt like h*ll for a brief period of time. You've either just unloaded on someone or someone unloaded on you if/when you get a stinger. Either way you were in on the business end of a tackle and you should recover in a short period of time. If Johnson suffered a stinger, he should be back at practice. I think JohnnyU posted his foot injury article in a lone thread last week but I have not seen or heard anything regarding it being serious...Johnson Owner.
