'92 Chronology-Unpaid Bills

Event Date: April, 16th, 1992

Event Description: Down & Out

Arizona Wranglers running back Bill Johnson will be sidelined with a knee injury and will most likely miss the next three games.

Johnson, who became an important part of Arizona's offense going back to last season, was injured late in the game during the Wranglers' 16-10 loss at the hands of the Chicago Blitz on Monday night.

Wranglers coach Frank Kush was hopeful that Johnson would not miss anymore than three games. Earlier in the week he didn't know if the injury was a strain or a tear.

"It's hard to rule Bill out, especially since we know what a competitor he is," Kush said. "I would hope that he will progress rapidly as the weeks go by as he has been getting some treatment already this week. I think the most important thing is that we don't rush it too much so as to make it any worse. He is an older player by running back standards, so it may take more time than either of us realize."

Backup running back Kevin Nelson went through a full practice as the starter and said he will be ready to play when called upon. Nelson was acquired as a free agent this past off-season but has played sparingly so far. The Wranglers host the Baltimore Stars on Sunday.
