Lions RB Kerryon Johnson (knee) headed to IR

Mired in a three-game losing streak, the Lions are dealing with another setback made official on Tuesday.

Running back Kerryon Johnson has been placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury, the team announced.

Fantasy Impact: 

Johnson will miss at least the next eight games. The earliest he can return is Week 16, which pretty much puts him back for fantasy finals in most leagues.

Ty Johnson should get the early down work with McKissic a change of pace option.
