Washington running back Dillon Johnson suffered a concerning injury in the final minute of his team’s victory over Texas in Monday’s Sugar Bowl, and now his status is up in the air for the national championship bout.
With Washington leading 37–31 on third down, Johnson ran the ball up the middle to allow the Huskies to milk the clock but was slow to get up and was seen writhing in pain. He had to be helped off the field and eventually was carted back to the locker room. After the game, Washington coach Kalen DeBoer confirmed that Johnson had aggravated a previous foot injury he was dealing with at the end of the regular season.
