Stevie Johnson reveals back injury was a slight fracture
Johnson told me this morning he fractured his L-5 vertebra in March while filming a workout session for BuffaloBills.com.
"It got to the point where, 'It's got to be something more than a strain or something' because every time I sit down it's hurting," Johnson said. "Every time I stand up it's hurting. I lay down, it's hurting. I went through rehab and it wasn't helping.
"So I got the MRI, and it was a slight fracture."
Johnson said he was given a cortisone shot and an epidural as part of his recovery.
Johnson's offseason workout approach came under fire when he told radio host Jim Rome his training consisted mostly of basketball and road work.
The Bills wanted to show fans that Johnson really does take training seriously by filming a session. Johnson said the back injury occurred while doing a power-rope exercise.
