Patricia said about starter Kerryon Johnson during this week’s league meetings,
it seems like a good bet that the Lions will be making a move for another back
at some point. Johnson missed the final six games of last season with a knee

conscious of how many plays they’re getting, especially early on in the year.
And obviously, we just want to win. That’s the most important thing. But you do
have to look at big picture and say

moves to bolster the backfield. The Detroit Lions have signed cornerback Cre'Von
