    the football gods literally addedhttp://www.authenticsdetroitlions.com/cheap-t.j.-lang-jersey injury to insult. Late in the fourth quarter, the Lions suffered a few key injuries that just so happen to hit the Lions where they are the most vulnerable.The first was to Marvin Jones Jr., who limped off after a fourth quarter catch. The team announced he had a knee injury and was questionable to return. Not only did Jones not return, but he was downgraded to OUT for the Lions’ final offensive drive of the game. To make matters worse, Kenny Golladay was clearly hobbled towards the end of the game. Golladay managed to finish out the final quarter, but don’t be surprised to see him pop up on the injury report next week.Sticking with the offense http://www.authenticsdetroitlions.com/cheap-quandre-diggs-jersey , Michael Roberts suffered a shoulder injury during a fourth-down reception. The Lions were already short-handed at tight end, as Luke Willson missed the game with a shoulder injury. That left just Levine Toilolo as the Lions’ sole healthy tight end for the final portion of the game. Lastly, Kerryon Johnson had to leave the game temporarily, as it appeared he reaggravated his ankle injury. Johnson was questionable this week, but he played through the pain and managed to come back and finish the game. By the end of the game, he looked pretty gimpy Color Rush Christian Jones Jersey , but that didn’t stop him from playing through it all.The Lions didn’t give any significant updates on the players after the game, and we likely won’t know more until the team practices on Wednesday, but for an offense struggling to find its stride, it’s not good news that literally all of their top offensive threats left Chicago beat up.Oh, and punter Sam Martin left Soldier Field in an ambulance. Let’s hope for the best for all of these individuals. The season may be all over for all intents and purposes, but no one wants to see players seriously hurt.Sunday open thread: How many rushing yards will Kerryon Johnson have vs. Cowboys? Kerryon Johnson did all Detroit Lions a favor by ending the horrible 100-yard drought last week against the Patriots. But the Lions didn’t trade up in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft so that Johnson could do that once. They’re hoping he’s got plenty of those kind of performances up his sleeve for years to come.At this point in the season Youth Frank Ragnow Jersey , it’s hard to tell how real the Lions’ running game is. Johnson undoubtedly looks good, but the offensive line has been inconsistent through three games. Additionally, the Patriots have one of the worst run defenses in the league in 2018, so it’s important to view Johnson’s performance through that lens. So what happens this week? How will Johnson’s encore look against the Dallas Cowboys? Today’s Question of the Day is:How many rushing yards will Kerryon Johnson have vs. Cowboys?My answer: The Cowboys have allowed just one 100-yard rusher this season, but it took Seahawks running back Chris Carson 32 carries to get there (3.2 YPC). Saquon Barkley only managed 28 while Christian McCaffrey had 50 with Cam Newton adding 58 of his own. Throw it all together and you have a pretty solid Cowboys run defense. That being said, I’m really starting to believe the Lions have something going on the ground Youth Ziggy Ansah Jersey , and as long as the game remains under control, they’re going to try and be as balanced as possible on offense.So I think Johnson will reach 85 yards on around 20 carries. He won’t quite go back-to-back in 100-yard performances, but he will keep the Lions’ rushing attack respectable.Your turn.Tweets from https://twitter.com/PrideOfDetroit/lists/lions-coverage
