Calvin Johnson Injury Update: Megatron Active for Detroit Lions

Despite having a shoulder injury that limited him in practice throughout the week, Detroit Lions number one receiver Calvin Johnson is active for Week 6 against the New York Giants.

It will be interesting to see how Johnson holds up as he plays through a shoulder injury, a tough one to deal with for a receiver. He is the biggest threat in Detroit's offensive attack, so I expect him to face some double coverage from the Giants secondary.

Johnson being on the field means that quarterback Shaun Hill will have his favorite target out there, boosting the likelihood that the Lions might be able to pull off an upset on the road. They are still looking for their first road victory since October 2007.
