Former Raider Teyo Johnson stabbed at concert
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on November 14, 2009 6:25 PM ET
A second-round pick of the Raiders in 2003, tight end Teyo Johnson has been quietly continuing his playing career in the CFL with the Calgary Stampeders.
His career and his life nearly met a tragic end early Friday morning after an altercation at a concert in Calgary.
"I didn't even know I got stabbed until the cops got there," Johnson said. "One officer showed me my blood on his hand and said, 'Hey, you've been stabbed. [Medical staff at Foothills Hospital] told me another centimeter or two and I would be dead. Luckily it hit my hip bone and went up about eight centimeters instead of straight through into my intestine."
Johnson is "very doubtful" to play in the Stampeders playoff game Sunday. The police have no suspects in the stabbing.
