Lions WR Calvin Johnson did not practice today. May be nothing, may be something. Lions will update injury report later.

Calvin Johnson was held out of Wednesday's practice.
Lions coach Jim Schwartz "would not disclose" why Megatron was absent, but there's been no indication he's injured. It's more than likely Johnson is just receiving a maintenance day. His status should be updated shortly.

Sounds possibly like a little gamesmanship going on?

I wouldn't be upset if he were out for sunday, but i doubt it.

A few random thoughts on Detroit -

1) Stafford actually threw 4 INT's on Sunday but the 4th one which landed directly in the hands of the defender - was dropped - in the end zone

Stafford threw 3 picks.

He threw another one right in the hands of a defender who dropped it as well.

Ahhh, yeh...exactly what I said - thanks for the paraphrase.

Well, at least he's paraphrasing someone else - I have to paraphrase my own original novels into smaller posts. And when I paraphrase others, my posts are longer than the original. NinerSickness had fewer words than you did.

He also had less drama and fewer details

True. I'm taking the Alex Smith approach now to combat the drama. I used to get into arguments with you like he used to force things to throw picks. I have now decided to post in a way, less assertive in 3rd and longs, and that will likely bring fewer picks. Some may think that I'm not being as assertive and thus just a post manager, but this way the board is still fun for me and less of an argumentative mess. That's a win, right?

Post Manager?? - That's funny as hell! I like it!

Oh, sorry. I missed your point. I thought you meant he actually threw 4 picks.

The only QB who threw 4 picks was the most overrated player in the NFL.

Brandon Weeden? (JK, I know you are referring to Vick)

But how sad would it be, and it may be (though I'm not ready to claim it), if throwing 4 picks in your first game leaves people with an impression of you that by comparison is overrated compared to the real you?

Brandon Weeden? (JK, I know you are referring to Vick)

Whoops! I thought the Weed threw 3 picks. Thanks for the clarification.

Yeah, I think we said the same thing we just qualified it differently

Barrows:

Still no Ted Ginn, Brandon Jacobs at 49ers practice. They continue to rehab on a side field.

I thought Williams fielded punts intelligently and confidently - Cut Ginn

Williams did do a good job in Green Bay but they will be in SF this Sunday and a night/evening game at that. The winds will be swirling. So, let's see how he handles the Candlestick winds first before letting Mr Ginn go
