• WR Calvin Johnson was back on the practice field Friday after rolling his ankle during last Sundayโ€™s victory in Tampa Bay. Johnson downplayed the injury during the week saying it was โ€œno big dealโ€ and that heโ€™ll be on the field Sunday when the Lions debut at home against the Kansas City Chiefs. I really canโ€™t see Johnson NOT playing either.
  • Safety Louis Delmas also returned to practice this week for the Lions. Delmas also hurt last weekend on the last play of the game after recovering a Tampa Bay fumble. He suffered a hip pointer and will probably be a game time decision this weekend.
  • WR Maurice Stovall had a heavy cast on his right hand and has been limited. He is likely out this weekend after being a nice addition to the teams special teams.
