Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson missed practice on Wednesday, per Adam Schefter, but nothing is known yet about why he was out. Players can miss practice for a long list of reasons, both personal and health-wise, so it's too early to say if this puts Johnson's status for Sunday against the 49ers in doubt. He opened the season with 6 catches for 111 yards in a win over the Rams.
Calvin Johnson Misses Practice Wednesday, Unknown If Fantasy Value In Doubt
Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson missed practice on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy Analysis: I would not panic on this news, since it’s the first sign at all that Johnson could have been hurt. While it is something to keep an eye on so that we can find out why he was not at practice, it shouldn’t be a major concern just yet. If it does turn out to be an injury however, that would be devastating news for Megatron owners. Johnson has missed four games in his five-year NFL career.
