The Facts:
Johnson apparently was close to playing in today's game against the Packerds despite his knee injury. The star wide receiver was declared inactive Sunday after being listed as questionable throughout the week. "Real close," Johnson said. "Obviously we weren't all the way there today, so working hard to get back."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Lions hope that the knee injury, which was different than the strain Johnson had last season, will not be long-term. "Calvin's a tough guy," HC Jim Schwartz said. "He's a hard worker and he's going to work hard to get back as quick as he can." Schwartz declined to speculate when Johnson, who is the Lions' leading receiver with 21 receptions for 312 yards and four touchdowns, would return. He also is the catalyst for a lot of double teams for opposing defenses.
