Calvin Johnson: (Knee) Game-Time Decision
Oct 30 1:41 PM CDT
Update: ESPN reports that coach Jim Schwartz expects Johnson (knee) to start Sunday against the Rams. However, Johnson seems less optimistic about his own chances, MLive.com reports. “Just trying not to overwork it. I don’t want to mess it up more than it is,” Johnson said after Friday’s practice. “It’s a game-time decision.”
Analysis: MLive calls Johnson’s chances of playing Sunday “diminishing” after Johnson’s practice workload decreased from Thursday to Friday. That stands in stark contrast to the optimistic ESPN report, and we don’t expect to have any type of resolution on this one until the inactive list is released on Sunday. Thankfully, the Lions play in the early slate of games, so you’ll have time to adjust your lineup accordingly.
