LSU football: JK Johnson suffers leg injury, other injury notes
BATON ROUGE — LSU football cornerback JK Johnson has suffered a leg injury and did not participate in practice on Monday.
Johnson had a cast on his leg and rode around the sidelines in a leg scooter, resting his knee on the scooter's raised platform and pushing off the ground with his healthy leg.
Johnson transferred to LSU from Ohio State this offseason after spending his first two seasons in Columbus.
LSU's thin cornerback room will have to lean on Duce Chestnut, Zy Alexander and Denver Harris even more following Johnson's injury.
