Calvin Johnson injury update: Lions WR is game-time decision

The veteran receiver is listed as probable for Sunday’s game.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson is expected to be a game-time decision on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports.

Johnson missed the Weed 5 loss to the Green Bay Packers before returning last week against the Cleveland Browns, catching three passes for 25 yards in the victory. For the season, Johnson has 24 receptions for 337 yards and four touchdowns, although he has just seven catches combined his past three games and appeared limited on the field against the Packers.

The veteran receiver did participate in all three practices this week for the Lions, when he normally misses Wednesday practice for a routine “rest day.” Johnson is listed as probable for Sunday’s game.

Kickoff against the Bengals is set for 1 p.m. ET.
