The Lions held their first practice in England yesterday and receiver Calvin Johnson took part in some drills. He’s missed the last two games with a high ankle sprain and was limited in practice.
Johnson says the ankle is feeling better and better each day but, as of yesterday, it still wasn’t 100 percent. Earlier in the week, head coach Jim Caldwell said Johnson would not return to the field until he felt “great”.
Tight ends Brandon Pettigrew, Eric Ebron and Joseph Fauria along with tackle LaAdrian Waddle and defensive end Ziggy Ansah all were held out yesterday with injuries.
