Lions to place Kerryon Johnson on IR.
Lions 24/7

That move would cap off a busy few weeks for the Lions, who have placed team leaders like Marvin Jones, Ezekiel Ansah, T.J. Lang and Da'Shawn Hand on the reserve list ending their season.

Good. No need for him to be out there. Give Zenner the chance to carry the load....then you know what you have going in to 2019. Keep ZZ or replace him if you have get someone you feel is better.

If we bring Blount back I will be pissed.
 
Put Slay, Stafford, Diggs, Snacks, Davis, and Golladay on the ir while you're at it

Blount did do better when he started getting more touches, but yeah, I feel the the same
 
I like Kerryon a lot, but don't think he'll ever be able to handle 20 touches a game, and stay healthy. The CJ Anderson signing is hopefully a sign that the Lions are going to keep Kerryon fresh and not overwork him

Kerryon Johnson (@AyeyoKEJO) sure didn’t show it, his grade improved 5.9 points the final five games compared to the first five games.
Weeks 1-5: 73.4 overall, 70.6 rushing, 41.1 pass-blocking.
Weeks 7-11: 79.3 overall, 77.0 rushing, 80.9 pass-blocking. #OnePride

RB Kerryon Johnson (@AyeyoKEJO) made a big impact in 2018, even in an injury shortened season.
Johnson converted 26.0% of his carries into 1st Downs/TDs last season, T-4th highest by a RB (min 75 rushes).
The future looks bright for the #Lions backfield #OnePride
