Stafon Johnson Seriously Injured


USC Running Back Stafon Johnson was seriously hurt this afternoon in a weightlifting accident. Johnson was apparently working out, doing bench presses, when the bar somehow fell and landed on his throat.

The injury was severe enough that Johnson was spitting up blood and was rushed to the hospital where he was undergoing surgery.

The story from the LA Times HERE.
More from NBCLA.com HERE.

Johnson, one of the Trojans leaders on offense was having a good season for an offense that had been struggling this season. According to reports, the injury wasn't "Life Threatening", but could potentially be "Career Ending".

This story will obviously be updated as more information becomes available.
Here's Derrin Horton's live shot from outside USC's practice facility.
