Former USC running back Stafon Johnson's lawsuit against the school and a former employee alleging negligence in the weight room has been settled, USC announced Wednesday. Johnson, a two-year starter for the Trojans now with the NFL's Washington Redskins, sued the school in January 2011 for unspecified damages greater than $25,000 after a September 2009 weightlifting accident nearly cost him his life and forced him to undergo several emergency surgeries.
