| 1. | Stafford participates fully |
(FFChamps) Detriot Lions' quarterback Matthew Stafford participated fully in the team's Friday practice, and will start Sunday at home against the Browns.

| 2. | Calvin Johnson |
(RotoWire) Johnson was limited in Friday's practice by a hand injury, but is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Cleveland, the Lions' official site reports. Analysis: We're not sure how he suffered the injury -- he may have just bumped it in Thursday's practice -- but Johnson's status for Sunday doesn't appear to be in jeopardy. | 18 hours |
| 3. | Johnson looks healthy in loss |
(Rotoworld) Calvin Johnson caught eight passes for 84 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. Analysis: Johnson's knee looked completely fine. He did take a shot over the middle in the second half and may have had the wind knocked out of him, but he didn't miss any plays. The Vikings had a safety on top of Johnson all day and prevented any huge plays, but it's an encouraging game for Megatron's owners. | 5 days |
