REPORT: Stevie Johnson suffers torn meniscus

It was only the second day of training camp, and the San Diego Chargers have already been bit by the injury bug.

According to NFL Media’s Michael Silver, Chargers wide receiver Stevie Johnson tore his meniscus.

I'm told by a source familiar with Chargers WR Stevie Johnson's knee injury that he has a torn meniscus & will have surgery soon @nflnetwork

Johnson suffered the injury while trying to run upfield after making a catch during Sunday’s practice.

It’s tough to see Johnson get hurt. As much as this news is depressing, it could have been much worse (if it was a torn ACL, it would have likely ended his season).
