As if the life of a journeyman NFL player wasn't tough enough, Chargers linebacker Tre'Von Johnson was allegedly thrown a curveball this past March.

Johnson, who has played for several teams since going undrafted out of Kent State in 2017, was apparently choked by his sister in a fight over laundry, per TMZ Sports.

By the account, Johnson has made a full recovery, and is expected to report to Chargers' camp later this summer. The 24-year-old played in four games last season but made a minimal impact, only recording three total tackles.
