COLUMBIA, Mo. • One of the Missouri's promising young receivers watched Monday's practice wearing a protective boot on his right foot, leaving his freshman season in question. Johnathon Johnson suffered a severely sprained right ankle in Saturday's scrimmage and will be sidelined indefinitely, the team confirmed Monday. Johnson was getting around the practice field on a scooter Monday.
The slot receiver from Memphis, Tenn., had four catches for 90 yards in the scrimmage but landed awkwardly along the sideline at the end of a 64-yard catch and run. The team's medical staff carted him to the locker room for testing.
