Chris Johnson says Week 3 knee injury contributed to poor 2013 performance
By Mike Dyce
Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson is looking to bounce back from a poor 2013 season. He thinks a early season injury might have hindered his performance during the season.
From the Nashville Tennessean
"Johnson was injured in the Week 3 win against the Chargers but said he never considered having surgery during the season. He’s rarely missed a practice in six seasons as a pro."
“I have never been a guy to sit out when something was hurt. The only way I would sit out is if there was no way possible I could play. If I can work through it, I want to play. I want to be out there to help my team win, and that’s the way it’s always been,” he said.
“I am not going to make excuses, but you can talk to anybody who’s had a torn meniscus and they know how it affects you. I’m not going to sit here and tell you if I wouldn’t have had a torn meniscus I would have had 1,600-1,700 rushing yards last year, but my teammates know what I was going through.”
