It’s been a rough year for Carolina defensive end Charles Johnson. He’s currently sitting on the team’s injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury earlier in the 2015 season. Sure, he is able to come back in a few weeks, but Johnson is currently sitting on the sidelines while his team is working on an undefeated year.
Still, Johnson is a good teammate, so he wants to be there to support his teammates. There’s just one problem: the Panthers don’t realize that Johnson wants to be around. That’s why when he went to Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on Sunday for Carolina’s matchup against Tennessee, Johnson had to purchase his own ticket to the game.

Johnson has paid his way into Panthers games before. Earlier this season, when Carolina went to Seattle to take on the Seahawks, Johnson purchased a ticket and sat in the stands with the fans.
This practice could come to an end in a few days, as Johnson is eligible to come off of the injured reserve in time for the team’s game against Dallas on Thanksgiving. Still, it’s probably a fun afternoon for Johnson and the Panthers’ fan that he’s sitting next to in the stand.
