Interesting, because while he won't miss time, the injury will keep the bengals from being able to cut him (as many sports pundits are calling for) because they'd be on the hook for an injury settlement.

Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson will have surgery to remove bone chips from his ankle. Johnson will undergo the procedure on Wednesday, The NFL Network reports.

Johnson, who went through the full series of drills during the team's last day of minicamp on last Saturday after noting that he was having pain in his right ankle earlier in the week. He expected to be ready to go health-wise when the Bengals have their first day of training camp practice in Georgetown, Ky., on July 28.
