A severe case of ‘Fat-osis’
Cincinnati Bengals fullback Jeremi Johnson is in deep doo-doo.
He’s sinking like an anchor that just got tossed off a boat.
Maybe that’s a little too strong.
Let’s just say he’s in quicksand up to his waist.
He’s listed on the Bengals roster at 270 pounds, but seriously, folks, he’s at least THREE BILLS, and even that’s conservative.
Jeremi didn’t practice on Monday because he’s on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list — a fancy expression for HUMONGOUS.
“He’s not in the condition he needs to be to practice football at this time,” head coach Marvin Lewis said. “He’s battling a lot of things.”
Johnson’s not fighting for a STARTING job. He’s battling for a ROSTER spot.
“Yes, he’s battling for his job,” Lewis said, “There’s no question about it. He’s battling for a spot on this football team. Guys are asked to report at a certain level and be there. We’ve got to move forward, so we’re going to move on.
“Hopefully he can catch up and earn a spot. Unfortunately, I’ve been talking about this for too long. So I don’t like spending a lot of time talking about guys that aren’t practicing. So I kind of stated my case there.”

If Jeremi Johnson can’t control his weight now, I hate to think of him 10-20 years from now. By way of comparison, how big did Pete Johnson get after he retired?
