Calvin Johnson returns to Detroit Lions practice

ALLEN PARK -- Calvin Johnson is a man of his word.

The Detroit Lions receiver insisted he was healthy on Thursday, and sure enough, was back on the practice field Friday after taking a day off to rest his ankle.

All 53 players on the roster were accounted for.

Johnson has battled injury over the past couple years, but has done a fine job this season of working through his issues. If he plays in each of the final three games, it would be the fourth time in his career that he hasn't missed a week, and the first time since 2012, when set the league record for receiving yards in a season.
