LOS ANGELES (AP) -Injured tailback Stafon Johnson has made a surprise appearance at Southern California’s team meeting before the sixth-ranked Trojans’ trip to Notre Dame.
Johnson was released from the hospital on Wednesday, just 16 days after his neck and throat were crushed in a weightlifting accident. The senior won’t play again this season, but is continuing his rehabilitation at home.
After a quick introduction from coach Pete Carroll, Johnson dropped in on the Trojans’ meeting at Heritage Hall on Thursday morning, exchanging high-fives with his teammates amid applause and cheers.
Johnson scored the go-ahead touchdown in USC’s victory at Ohio State in its last trip back East last month.
The Trojans (4-1) left later Thursday for Indiana.
