Lions' Johnson Injured in Golf Cart Accident

[.loggie]

ALLEN PARK -- As he got undressed at his locker Saturday afternoon, Detroit Lions receiver Bryant Johnson showed the scars and still-healing wounds from a golf cart accident he was involved in this summer. The cuts and abrasions covered almost every part of his body.

Johnson, who didn't practice Saturday and could miss a couple weeks, was placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list.

"Bryant, unfortunately, had a golf cart accident back in early July,'' Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. "It was something we were well aware of. We took a couple of trips down to Atlanta to see him.

"There are no orthopedic issues with it, a lot of superficial wounds, road rash and those kinds of things. We'll take our time ... with him.''

Johnson said: "In the community that I live in, everybody uses golf carts to get around. (The golf car) got out of control and it was on two wheels and it fell over. I was driving, and it fell over on my side. It slid about 10 yards. There was a hill, but it wasn't a steep hill.''

Many of the wounds still appear to be a long way from healing, and recovery could be a lengthy process. Still, Johnson said the initial accident wasn't that painful.

"It really didn't hurt until the first time I tried to take a shower,'' Johnson said.

i thought this was pretty funny and unheard of, i'm glad to see he isn't seriously injured tho. i bet everyone read the title and thought it was calvin.
