Jets rookie RB La’Mical Perine has a high ankle sprain.

The tweet went on to say Perine will miss some time. High ankle sprains are generally a multiple-week injury and it's possible Perine ends up on the IR depending on how serious the injury is. Look for the veteran Gore to take over with Johnson and Adams possibly also in the mix.

Frank Gore still got more carries, and the recently signed Ty Johnson got more yards (on three carries) as La'Mical Perine’s explosiveness remained bottled up Sunday during the Jets’ 24-0 loss to the Dolphins.

In another miserable game for the offense, Perine was limited to seven rushes for 27 yards and two catches for 9 yards. He also dropped a pass late in the second quarter when he appeared to have plenty of room to run if he had corralled it, a play that coach Adam Gase indicated factored into his playing time.

“[Getting Perine more carries] was the plan going in, and I was just kind of watching those guys, the body language,” Gase said. “I know after Perine dropped that one ball, I was just trying to make sure he was good confidence-wise. I didn’t want him to go in the wrong direction. Just trying to get him back in there and then trying to get Ty involved."

It sounds like the plan is to still get a good look at Perine the rest of the season, which is good news for owners. However, it looks like there will be some growing pains along the way which could limit his workload at times. Also, if you haven't noticed, the Jets offense isn't good, so starting Perine right now in fantasy lineups is going to be very risky.

Assuming the Lions are bringing in Adrian Peterson with a plan on how to use him -- and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell has experience with Peterson from their four years together in Minnesota at the start of his career -- this could mean fewer carries for Kerryon Johnson and a completely diminished role for Scarbrough or Ty Johnson.

The story said the Lions want to use a committee approach, something HC Matt Patricia was used to seeing during his days in New England. The story added Swift is likely going to be the pass-catching back and AP likely "won't interfere with with Swift will do." It was also mentioned Peterson could help to keep Johnson healthy this season by cutting into his workload. Not the best news for fantasy owners. Swift is the back to own, with the hope he can also eventually cut into the early-down workload.

J.D. McKissic (stinger) is ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's tilt against the Buccaneers.

McKissic only had one carry for two yards in the game. Scarbrough was inactive with a rib injury which left Johnson and Hills as the RBs.

Lions RB Ty Johnson cleared concussion protocol and will play Sunday against the Cowboys.

Good for the Lions who could use a boost on offense with Matthew Stafford missing another game and the Lions facing a good Cowboys defense. Johnson does still have some flex appeal but expectations should still be somewhat tempered with Jeff Driskel in again at quarterback.
