1) Lane lying

Johnson told reporters on Saturday he does not expect an official ruling for a few weeks.
"I'm waiting for my B Sample to come in, and that will probably be two or three weeks from now," Johnson said on Saturday. "That's all I got. Everything that I told you was approved by the Aegis Shield app. That's the only thing the NFLPA gives you to test online products."
