The ribs injury Charles Johnson suffered against San Diego sidelined him Sunday in Denver, but he’s optimistic about returning to action after Minnesota’s bye week.
ESPN.com’s Ben Goessling wrote the injury occurred while Johnson went up for a jump ball near the goal line:
Asked if anything was broken, Johnson told Goessling, “I don’t know what it is, actually. [The trainers] were like, ‘Something’s wrong with your ribs.’ When I tried to [run] too fast, I could feel it, so they were like, ‘Just rehab it.’ Hopefully, they’ll get me right, and I’ll be back out there.
