On Friday afternoon, the Detroit Lions released their injury report and it is no surprise that Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) and Michael Roberts (knee) have already been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.
But what is surprising is that Golden Tate (hip) and Jarrad Davis (knee) are both listed as questionable for the Lions Week 4 matchup.
Though it is never great to see players show up on the injury report this late in the week, we can look back to last week when Marvin Jones showed up on the report on Friday but was able to play on Sunday.
Let’s hope the same is true for both Tate and Davis.
NOTE: Andrew Donnal, T.J. Lang, and Frank Ragnow were all able to practice on Friday.

CONFIRMED: Former Detroit Lions great Calvin Johnson returns home
For nine seasons, former Lions great Calvin Johnson called Detroit his home. As a member of the Detroit Lions, Johnson racked up 11,619 receiving yards and 84 total touchdowns in his career. Let’s face it, he was unstoppable when he was healthy and he certainly earned the nickname, “Megatron.”
But following the 2015 season, Johnson made the decision to hang up his cleats and to walk away from the game of football. His body had been beaten and battered long enough and he was content to move on, despite still being one of the most dominant receivers in the game.
Since leaving, there have been numerous reports about bad blood between Johnson and the Detroit Lions. So it came as a bit of a surprise when multiple fans claimed to have seen Calvin at Ford Field for the Lions home opener on Monday Night Football against the Jets.
Now, those rumors have been confirmed by Lions president Rod Wood.
In a recent piece in the Associated Press which focused on Barry Sanders, Wood revealed that Calvin Johnson was, in fact, in attendance for the Jets’ game.
