OTTAWA – The Ottawa REDBLACKS could be without running back Jeremiah Johnson for the remainder of the season.
According to a report by Tim Baines of the Ottawa Sun, Johnson dislocated his foot in the REDBLACKS’ loss to the Toronto Argonauts on Tuesday. After exiting the game, he was replaced by William Powell, who is slated to be the lead back going forward.

Johnson had emerged as the REDBLACKS starting running back midway through the season shortly before the release of Chevon Walker.
In 10 games this year, Johnson has 448 rushing yards and leads the league with nine touchdowns while adding 267 receiving yards.
