Calvin Johnson's football injuries are starting to catch up with him on Dancing with the Stars.
In practicing for his 1950s jive Monday night, Johnson said he sprained his ankle so bad during the 2015 season he couldn't go on his tiptoes and that “you playing flat-footed the whole game.” So far in the competition, he and his partner, Lindsay Arnold, had been relying on his strength with lifts to pull off some high scores.
But with the jive, there were no lifts involved and he had to rely on his footwork. He did well working with Arnold while jiving to the Little Richard hit “Good Golly, Miss Molly,” rocking his feet to the beat and exuding the energy he's shown the entire competition.
