Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick has had a pretty good week, to say the least.

His wife gave birth to a baby and then on Monday he announced that he was making good progress in his recovery from an ACL and MCL tear.

What Scandrick did not expect to get was a little bonus -- advice from former Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Johnson, previously known as Chad Ochocinco before he changed it back to his family name so his then-fiancee would not have to take on the name Ochocinco (pretty considerate, actually).

But that's exactly what happened, as Johnson took to Twitter to say he expects Scandrick to recover from his injury and to offer a piece of advice to the cornerback to help him get back up to speed.

Scandrick is gonna come back on point, if I were him I'd purposely take every rep against Dez to get back to his full potential b4 week 1. — Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) April 18, 2016

This is much better advice than you'd expect from a man who once changed his name to Ochocinco. Going up against Dez Bryant at each practice would surely speed up Scandrick's adjustment to NFL speed once he makes it back onto the practice field.

So that'll teach us to judge a man by his made-up last name.
