The Detroit Lions have listed wide receiver Calvin Johnson
as inactive for today’s contest against the Green Bay Packers. It’s a surprising
announcement considering Johnson was expected to suit up for today’s game throughout
the week despite his injury.
Johnson appeared on the team’s injury report with his knee
injury, which limited him at practice throughout the week. Still, the sentiment
was that the injury wasn’t severe enough to keep him from playing against the
Packers.
This is obviously a huge blow to the Lions and fantasy
owners of Johnson alike, as Megatron is arguably the best wide receiver in the
NFL. The Lions are now without their No. 1 and No. 2 wide receivers, as Nate
Burleson is also inactive with a broken arm. The Lions will have to depend on
receivers Kris Durham and Ryan Broyles, though he’s questionable as well, along
with running back Reggie Bush and their tight ends.

This is where the Lions prove how good they are. If they are as good as we feel they are, they can win without Calvin, though he will be sorely missed. Reggie isn't gonna have two deep safeties today.
