CBS DETROIT - The Friday injury report for the Detroit Lions lists wide receiver Calvin Johnson as questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Head coach Jim Caldwell indicated early in the day it would take close to a miracle for Johnson to be ready to go.
Johnson's ankle injury caused him to miss last week's game against the Minnesota Vikings, and he had been seriously limited in the two previous games.
Johnson is not the only target that quarterback Matthew Stafford might be missing this week -- rookie tight end Eric Ebron is listed as doubtful with a hamstring injury. Tight end Joe Fauria has been ruled out due to a nagging ankle injury.
Running back Theo Riddick is also listed as doubtful with a hamstring injury. Linebacker Travis Lewis has been ruled out with a quadricep injury. Running back Reggie Bush, wide receiver Jeremy Ross and defensive end Ziggy Ansah are all listed as probable.
