Kerryon Johnson met with Detroit Lions doctors Monday, but otherwise coach Matt Patricia had little update about the right knee injury his running back suffered in a 42-30 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted Monday night Johnson "is expected to miss 'some time' with a knee injury" and is week to week. Schefter does not expect Johnson to play Sunday against the New York Giants.

The story said not much is known by Patricia at the moment but he hopes to have some clarity Tuesday. He said Johnson told him he was fine in a brief conversation. Johnson wore a knee brace after leaving the game and rode a stationary bike, but never returned. Ty Johnson will be a huge pickup this week on the wire with a nice matchup against the Giants. McKissic will remain in the passing down role. Hopefully we get more of a timeline, perhaps Tuesday, but for now it looks like Ty Johnson will get the start Week 8 at least.

Lions running back Kerryon Johnson went to the locker room with a knee injury in the second quarter, then later re-emerged on the sideline with a brace on his right knee.

Johnson had a noticeable limp according to reports so his Week 8 status is a big question right now. Ty Johnson will likely be a poplar pickup this week if he's still available on waiver wires and should take over if Kerryon Johnson misses time. The Lions have a nice matchup against the Giants in Week 8.
