Lions activate safety Jayron Kearse after 3-game suspension

Healthy scratch against Cards Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Impact The 2019 sixth-round draft pick fielded five offensive snaps last Sunday in a loss to Green Bay, but he is yet to garner a single carry on the young season. Johnson logged an average of 3.9 carries per game last year for a bottom-12 Lions rushing attack, but with D'Andre Swift and Adrian Peterson now in the mix, his offensive involvement has fallen by the wayside.

Gets snaps on offense Johnson was targeted once but did not record a catch during Sunday's loss to Green Bay.
Impact Johnson again saw the majority (12 of 17 total snaps) of his playing time come on special teams. Barring an injury to Adrian Peterson, Kerryon Johnson or D'Andre Swift, this modest offensive involvement should be the expectation for Ty Johnson until further notice.

No offensive snaps Johnson did log a snap on offense during Sunday's 27-23 loss to Chicago.
Impact Johnson got 12 snaps on special teams, but the backfield work was divided between Adrian Peterson, D'Andre Swift and Kerryon Johnson. Barring injury, it's unlikely Johnson joins that rotation.

Bears, Lions hope to start strong after disappointing year

Makes the cut Johnson made the Lions' initial 53-man roster in advance of Sunday's season opener against the Bears, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Impact Detroit's selection of Jason Huntley in the fifth round of this spring's draft seemingly put Johnson on the roster bubble, but the former was surprisingly let go over the weekend. That leaves Johnson in a backfield with Kerryon Johnson, D'Andre Swift (undisclosed) and Adrian Peterson, while Bo Scarbrough (undisclosed) heads to injured reserve. Depending on Swift's health status, Johnson seems like a candidate to handle some of the backfield work on passing downs this weekend.
