The San Diego Chargers finally received news on Chargers WR Stevie Johnson (meniscus), but it wasn’t the news they wanted to hear.
NFL Media insider’s Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday that Johnson will miss the 2016 season.

It’s tough to see Johnson go down. Johnson, who turned 30 years old in July, signed a three-year, $10.5 million deal last season. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to stay on the field in his first year as a Charger, missing six games due to hamstring and groin injuries.
