Javon Ringer will sit out Sunday's game between the Tennessee Titans and the San Diego Chargers due to an infection that nearly cost him his arm, according to Pro Football Talk. The backup running back spent four night in a hospital and underwent two surgeries for a condition known as cellulitis, and had to have a mechanism installed near his elbow to drain fluid from his arm.
