Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson appeared to suffer some sort of foot injury during Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers.
Johnson broke off a 24-yard run early in the fourth quarter, but appeared to do something to his ankle or foot at the end of it.

Johnson went to the sideline, where he tried to run off the injury. That effort seemed unsuccessful and he returned to the trainer’s table, potentially to get taped up.
So Lions now up 31-14 on the Packers, but Kerryon Johnson still getting medical attention on the sideline, tried walking it off there for a second, trainers brought him back to the table

Johnson has been the Lions’ best back this season, and became their first 100-yard rusher in five years two weeks ago. Until he returns, expect Detroit to lean on LeGarrette Blount.
