Lions' Kerryon Johnson (knee) not expected to play on Thanksgiving

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) is not expected to play in Week 12's game against the Chicago Bears.

What It Means:

The Lions rookie is not expected to have surgery but will likely miss some time with a knee sprain suffered in Week 11's game against the Carolina Panthers. Detroit will need to rely on the combination of LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick on Thanksgiving with Johnson likely out.

Our models project Blount and Reddick for 2.6 and 7.3 FanDuel points respectively against the Chicago Bears.
