Kerryon Johnson (knee, IR) returns to Lions practice

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (knee, injured reserve) returned to practice Wednesday.

What It Means:

Johnson had been out of commission since Week 7. He's not eligible to play until Week 16, so there's a chance that the Lions opt to keep him out for the rest of the season. Bo Scarbrough rushed 21 times for 83 yards in the Lions' Week 13 loss to the Chicago Bears. He will likely lead the backfield again in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

Johnson has 92 carries for 308 yards (3.3 per carry) and 2 touchdowns this season. He also has 9 catches on 14 targets for 126 yards and 1 touchdown.
