ANN ARBOR -- Michigan sophomore running back Drake Johnson will be dealing with another long injury rehabilitation process.

A source close to Johnson confirmed a report from Michigan Radio Network sideline reporter Doug Karsch on Monday morning that Johnson suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during Michigan's 42-28 loss at Ohio State on Saturday.

A Michigan spokesman said he could not comment on the report at this time.

Johnson injured his left knee during a touchdown run in the third quarter of the game in Columbus. He stayed on the ground in the end zone for an extended period of time before walking off the field under his own power.

Johnson was then taken to the trainer's table for further examination, and was seen walking around with a slight limp on the sideline after the game. He did not return to action.

The 6-foot, 211-pound sophomore from Ann Arbor suffered an ACL tear in his left knee during the season-opener of the 2013 season. He missed the remainder of that year due to injury.

Johnson rushed 60 times for 361 yards and 4 touchdowns this season.

Later Monday Morning, Johnson tweeted: "Came back once. I'm damn sure I can do it again."
