ALLEN PARK Dontari Poe Color Rush Jersey , Mich. (AP) — Kerryon Johnson has been a bright spot for Detroit in a season with plenty of struggles.Now the Lions are finally coming off a win — but Johnson exited that victory with a left knee injury.Detroit’s rookie running back went down in the second half of Sunday’s win over the Carolina Panthers, and although the Lions had to be pleased to snap a three-game losing streak, they face a daunting task over the next couple of weeks.Detroit has a short turnaround before its Thanksgiving game against Chicago — not a great situation for a player recovering from an injury — and then the Lions face the Los Angeles Rams.Johnson has boosted Detroit’s previously moribund running game. He has rushed for 641 yards on the season — more than anyone on the Lions managed last season — but it’s not clear when he’ll be able to play again.“Not sure what his situation is, but we’ve dealt with it in other areas on our team before. Just next guy up, let’s go,” quarterback Matthew Stafford said.“We have a bunch of guys in that room that are talented. If they need to play more, they’ll play more. If they don’t Jarius Wright Jersey , then we’ll roll with what we have.”Detroit was already without wide receiver Marvin Jones (knee) against Carolina. Then Johnson left the game, but the Lions were able to win anyway thanks to some big catches by receiver Kenny Golladay.Detroit (4-6) still faces an uphill climb to make the playoffs. Its next two games are at home but against first-place teams. If Johnson isn’t available, the path becomes even tougher.“We’ll take it day by day. We’ll see how it goes,” coach Matt Patricia said Monday. “We just have to stay even keel with all of it and make sure we prepare like we’re just pushing forward.”Johnson leads the Lions with 118 carries. LeGarrette Blount has 78 and Stafford has 21. No other Detroit player has more than nine. Blount is averaging only 2.3 yards per attempt.“Certainly, Kerryon has a skillset that’s great, just like a lot of our other guys do,” Patricia said. “I think we have good players https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Da_Norris-Searcy-Jersey , we have dynamic guys, guys that can make plays in different ways and it’s not cookie-cutter. Football is not that way. When you have a different player that’s in and in the same position, it doesn’t mean that they can do the same thing. You have to be able to adjust.”The Lions could always bring in someone from outside the organization to help at running back, but there’s not much time before the next game.Running back Zach Zenner, who signed with the Lions earlier this month, could have a bigger role now. Zenner has played sporadically for Detroit since the 2015 season — he had 88 carries in 2016.“No matter what it means for me, it’s always disappointing to see a teammate get injured Greg Van Roten Color Rush Jersey ,” Zenner said. “Kerryon’s a good teammate, good person, good friend. So it’s certainly tough to see him have an injury. I don’t know what the situation is. Hopefully he’ll be back, ready to go, but if not, I’ll be ready to do whatever I’m asked.” Dez Bryant’s Twitter troll game is in All-Pro form.The free-agent wide receiver called out his former team with a series of critical tweets aimed at the Dallas Cowboys after they dropped their season opener.Bryant was released in April after eight seasons with the team and remains unsigned. He has received interest from Cleveland and Baltimore, but his thoughts were with the Cowboys during — and after — their 16-8 season-opening loss at Carolina.When one fan asked Bryant to have his agent call Cowboys owner Jerry Jones so Dallas could re-sign him https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com , the three-time Pro Bowl selection said he was OK. He also suggested in the same response that he could fit in New England or with the Dallas’ NFC East rivals in Washington.“I rather go somewhere I can show case my skills for real,” Bryant tweeted. “If I line up next to Gronk hogan Edelman I’m for sure getting a 1 on 1 match up plus I won’t be getting criticized controlled for expressing my love for the game..Washington is cool as well.”When some fans suggested he was just trying to get himself a job, Bryant said he’s “not begging anyone,” and added in another tweet said he’s “not making a pitch.”Bryant had previously been critical of the Cowboys’ playcalling on offense, and he was at it again on Sunday.“It’s kind of cool calling out all of the signals and knowing which route players are about run,” he wrote.Bryant later posted a laughing crying face emoji when Cowboys beat writer Brandon George of The Dallas Morning News tweeted that offensive coordinator Scott Linehan declined comment after the game.After a barrage of tweets, Bryant said he would be done talking about the Cowboys after Sunday .“If I try to say something good or a factual it always turned out to be negative plus I don’t want it to seem that’s where I’m focused Carolina Panthers Customized Jerseys ,” he tweeted. “I know the team well so it’s hard not for me to speak .. all I ever cared about was winning.”But since the day wasn’t over, Bryant wasn’t finished taking shots at his former team.When someone suggested the Cowboys would have beaten the Panthers if they still had Bryant and kicker Dan Bailey, the wide receiver tweeted: “Real fact.”George tweeted that Jones left the locker room quickly without comment as most reporters were interviewing running back Ezekiel Elliott.“I love Jerry,” Bryant responded. “I honestly don’t think HE wanted me gone so I feel his pain.”In one of his final posts of the night , a fan asked Bryant to predict the Cowboys’ final record this season.“I think they are going to be dominant,” he said.
