Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson's status for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns remains up in the air, but he returned to practice on Thursday. Granted, he only took part in some position drills and had a brace on his right knee, according to Dave Birkett, but at least he was able to get on the field. That's a step in the right direction, and hopefully it's a sign that by Sunday he will be good to go.
In all likelihood, we will have to wait until the inactives come out on Sunday to find out if Johnson can play. He is keeping things close to the vest in order to keep the Browns in the dark about the situation.
To Calvin, how do you feel? "Good" Good enough to play Sunday? "Come on." Said he's feeling better and wants to leave it at that
