Chad Ochocino
Chad Ochocinco claims a weight lifting injury prevented him from dancing on the season finale of Dancing With the Stars on ABC.
The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver broke the news to his Twitter contingent prior to the broadcast.
“I can’t dance tonight due to injury, trying to squat 420 without a warm was dumb of me,” Ochocinco wrote on Twitter. “Truthfully I felt with me dancing the past 3 months I would’ve been able to start heavy n work my way down as usual.”
The good news for Bengals fans is that the injury is not believed to be serious. He vowed to be ready for the season opener against the New England Patriots on September 12 where he promised to “dancing between 1 and 4 p.m.”
The Cincinnati Enquirer (via PFT) doesn’t expect him to wait that long to return, noting that he should be find by the time minicamp starts on June 15.
