USC Trojans running back Stafon Johnson injured his throat in a weightlifting accident last fall and required emergency surgery. Johnson was bench pressing when the bar slipped from his hands and fell on his throat, according to a release from the school. Immediately after the accident, Johnson was coughing up blood.
