Running back Kerryon Johnson has put up some of the biggest rushing numbers the team has seen in a long time and it looks like he’ll get a
chance to continue adding to that record on Sunday.Johnson was listed as
questionable on Friday after three days of limited practice. Johnson is dealing
with an ankle injury
Womens Anthony Zettel Jersey , but Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that he’s expected to play against the Bears on Sunday afternoon.Johsnon became the
first Lions player to run for 100 yards in a game since 2013 when he got 101
yards against the Patriots in Week Three. He then became the first Lion with
more than 150 rushing yards in a game since 2011 when he went for 158 yards
against the Dolphins in Week Seven.Guard T.J. Lang and cornerback Darius Slay
will miss the game for the Lions. Defensive end Ziggy Ansah joins Johnson in the
questionable category after playing last week for the first time since the
season opener. Of all the various proposals that will be considered by ownership
next week, one sticks out. It’s the one that doesn’t count.The Eagles proposed
that the Lions and Cowboys would alternate playing on the road on Thanksgiving,
and then the Eagles withdrew it. But the proposal continues to appear on the
list of proposals published to the media and submitted to the owners.Here’s a
theory: The Eagles fully intended to make the proposal and then to withdraw the
proposal
Womens Barry Sanders Jersey , with the understanding that the withdrawn proposal would still appear on the list of proposed rule changes. That way, the
Eagles don’t look like jerks (or they look less like jerks) but the point still
gets made.It’s actually a great point. Although the NFL remains determined to
extend the Dallas and Detroit hammerlock on Thanksgiving games because they were
willing to host the games when no one else was, there’s nothing unfair about
requiring them to play their annual short-week game on the road
Womens Levine Toilolo Jersey , every other year. In fact, given the proliferation of short-week football, it’s only fair to expect all teams to play
their short-week games at home one year and on the road the next year.Since the
owners can pass any rule changes that they want
Eli Harold Jersey , they can proceed with this one, regardless of whether it was withdrawn by the Eagles. And, in the interests of fairness to all
teams
T.J. Jones Jersey White , the owners should take up this issue, and vote in favor of it.
