- Calvin Johnson continued to openly talk about his injury issues earlier this week, once again saying that he suffered a concussion earlier this season against the Minnesota Vikings. He also said that he suffered nerve damage from the hits he took in that game. On Friday, Johnson and the Lions released statements clarifying that he didn't actually suffer a concussion or nerve damage. Rather, he suffered a stinger. That very well may be the case, but it's kind of tough to believe the Lions when it comes to stuff like this. Then again, the NFL did look into the situation and didn't find any wrongdoing, according to Dave Birkett.
- Jeff Backus was added to the Lions' injury report on Saturday with a finger injury. He is listed as probable and should play on Sunday.
- Adam Schefter reports that Percy Harvin will not play for the Vikings on Sunday.
- The combined record of the teams remaining on the Lions' schedule is 49-20. The Arizona Cardinals are the Lions' only remaining opponent under .500.
- Here's an amazing stat:
Lions are 9-6 in their past 15 road games. They were 9-70 in their previous 79. #MildImprovement
