HOUSTON — Star Washington tailback Dillon Johnson has been limited in practice this week after suffering multiple injuries at the end of the Sugar Bowl, but he said he's «ready to rock and roll» for Monday night's College Football Playoff National Championship game against Michigan.
Johnson acknowledged he will not be 100-percent for the game — «doubt it» — and said he's been dealing with multiple injuries.
In the final minute of he Sugar Bowl, Texas defensive lineman Alfred Collins dragged him to the ground and Johnson both bruised his left knee and aggravated a lingering right foot injury. «But it's all good,» he said. «I'll be ready to rock and roll and give whatever my team needs.
I'll be ready to do it.» When asked if he's been a full participant in practice, Johnson said: «Something like that, but I was doing as much as I could.» Johnson has been one of the country's most productive tailbacks in the latter part of the season, as he has the second most yards of any running back since Week 9.
