"Wide receiver Calvin Johnson -- who entered the game with a thigh issue -- suffered an injury and had to be pulled from action. As he left the field, it appeared to be an upper thigh injury, but after the game, Lions coach Jim Schwartz confirmed to MLive.com that it was a knee injury. "We tried to get a sleeve on it, we tried to get a brace on it and it was a situation where it was still possible -- if he could feel good with it -- we would've put him back in the game. We couldn't get him settled down and we couldn't get him comfortable," Schwartz said. On Wednesday, NFL Insider Adam Schefter noted on Twitter that things are looking worse regarding Johnson's likelihood of playing on Sunday (ESPN)."
Even though the Lions record sucks they have been playing good football, but if they lose Calvin things could get ugly quick. Strafford has already been hurt, and if Calvin is not out there I don't see this offense doing much. In the end they aren't a playoff team anyways, but at least they seem to be heading in the right direction...
