The Los Angeles Rams may be able to avoid a stud rookie running back this week as Detroit Lions RB Kerryon Johnson is expected to miss another game with knee injury according to Kyle Meinke of MLive.
For the season, Johnson has 641 rushing yards on a 118 attempts (5.4 average) along with three rushing touchdowns. Through the air, Johnson has 32 receptions for 213 yards and a touchdown.
With Johnson out, LeGarrette Blount will earn a second straight start. Against the Chicago Bears last week, Blount rushed for 88 yards on 19 carries and got in the end zone twice.
