Larry Johnson has returned to practice for the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnson has missed the last four games, three because he was benched by the team and one because he was suspended by the league for violating the personal conduct policy.The Chiefs changed their gameplan in L.J.'s absence, opening up the air attack and allowing Thigpen to hurl the ball - which he did quite well.
The offense may look different, but it can only help having the team's top back return to the field. If anything, the emergence of a decent air attack is going to force teams to back off the line and give L.J. some extra running room, allowing him the chance to match his ridiculous '05 and '06 stats.
As for Johnson's continuing legal problems. He is being sued by a woman named Ashley Stewart for allegedly spitting a drink in her face at a club. I once had a law professor tell me that "you can't sue for hurt feelings." And since I doubt she has extensive medical bills from that liquid to the face I hope to God that she gets what she deserves: Nothing. Unfortunately this is America, where people love to punish the wealthy and successful. Johnson's probably going to end up "settling" out of court. Which is just code for hush money.
