Bills receiver waiting for groin to pop

PITTSFORD, N.Y. - Who would want their groin to pop?

Stevie Johnson, for one.

The Buffalo Bills wide receiver explained Friday morning what he meant when he said Thursday he's waiting for his groin-surgery scar tissue to, well, "pop."

"I didn't know anything about this, but I guess when you get groin surgery the scar surgery (has to) pop every time," Johnson said following the morning walk-through on Day 2 of the Bills training camp at St. John Fisher College.

Johnson had corrective surgery at the end of April for a nagging groin pull that hampered his play in 2011.

"It heals, and then it has to break down to be fully (healed)," Johnson said. "I think (Thursday) was the first time I really felt ... some soreness. I'm starting to feel it around there.

"So I guess I'm waiting for it to pop. They say it's supposed to be some type of pop, and then you'll be 100% after that. So I'm just waiting on that."

And that'll be enough about that.










Is first round pick Eric Fisher a decent choice by the Kansas City Chiefs?
  Yes.
  No.
  He has to prove himself before I decide.
