Detroit News beat writer Josh Katzenstein expects we’ve seen the last of Johnson today:

— Josh Katzenstein (@jkatzenstein) October 5, 2014 Johnson missed practice earlier this week because of an ankle injury and it seems as though he aggravated it in the second quarter. He came up limp after a reception was seen on the sideline holding his helmet to begin the Lions next drive. He was then taken back into the locker room.
The injury seemed to be hampering the star wideout even before the aggravation. He had zero targets in the first half and just one reception for seven yards before leaving. Golden Tate has helped pick up the slack, making four receptions for 70 yards and a touchdown.
