Lions RB Bo Scarbrough (ribs) missed practice Thursday after taking limited reps Wednesday. The midweek downgrade is a bad sign for Scarbrough's Week 15 availability. If he can't play, J.D. McKissic and Ty Johnson would split backfield duties in a bad matchup against a stout Bucs rush defense.

Lions RB Ty Johnson cleared concussion protocol and will play Sunday against the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact:

Good for the Lions who could use a boost on offense with Matthew Stafford missing another game and the Lions facing a good Cowboys defense. Johnson does still have some flex appeal but expectations should still be somewhat tempered with Jeff Driskel in again at quarterback.

Lions Matt Patricia: Ty Johnson is in protocol.

Related players: Paul Perkins, J.D. McKissic

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like it may be tough for Johnson to come back for Week 11. If he's out, McKissic is probably the back to own especially in PPR leagues.

Lions RB Ty Johnson suffers concussion

Detroit Lions running back Ty Johnson and right tackle Rick Wagner were both ruled out of the second half of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears after suffering concussions.

Related players: Paul Perkins, J.D. McKissic

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson suffered his concussion in the first quarter and then walked back to the locker room, not to return. Perkins and McCissic were the only backs left, and if Johnson can't go in Week 11, that duo would likely split the workload.

Lions RB Tra Carson (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 9. If Carson is out, Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic would likely form a two-man committee against the Raiders.

Lions RB Tra Carson (hamstring) was added to the injury report Thursday after taking limited practice reps. This looks like a midweek downgrade. If he's out, Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic would likely form a two-man committee against the Raiders.

Lions RB Kerryon Johnson (knee) headed to IR

Mired in a three-game losing streak, the Lions are dealing with another setback made official on Tuesday.

Running back Kerryon Johnson has been placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury, the team announced.

Related players: Ty Johnson, J.D. McKissic

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson will miss at least the next eight games. The earliest he can return is Week 16, which pretty much puts him back for fantasy finals in most leagues. Unless you have an IR spot, he would be risky to keep on your bench in redraft leagues. Ty Johnson will be a popular pickup this week as will McKissic. Ty Johnson should get the early down work with McKissic a change of pace option.
