There are bizarre injuries and then there's this: Michigan running back Drake Johnson might have been injured by a forklift during a workout Wednesday.

Johnson has torn the ACL in his left knee twice during his career at Michigan, but returned to rush for 271 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games during the 2015 season. He also caught six passes, two for TDs.
