Chad Johnson strains shoulder in preseason loss
Chad Johnson strained his left shoulder Sunday night against the Detroit Lions in the Bengals second preseason game. He was hurt on a pass from Carson Palmer that was intercepted by Lions cornerback Brian Kelly. From NFL.com:
Johnson landed awkwardly on his left side after cornerback Brian Kelly intercepted a pass thrown his way on Cincinnati’s first series. Johnson rolled on the field in pain for several seconds, then went to the locker room for an examination. He did not return.
Coach Lewis thinks that’ll be fine for the regular season. Is it just me, or is it looking like it’s going to be a tough season in general for Ocho Cinco? Let’s put it this way, I’m not drafting him in any fantasy leagues. Let’s just hope that doesn’t come back to haunt me.

JP’s fantasy spin: This should be a hiccup for CJ, but I’d downgrade him a bit. I’d take Andre Johnson, Marques Colston and Housh ahead of him for sure. If this injury lingers, it could catalyze Cincy’s flirtation with bringing back Chris Henry.
THis might also hurt Chad’s chances of beating Michael Phelps in a race as he boasted last week.
