Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson was not participating in practice Friday, the second day of work he’s missed this week.

According to Anwar Richardson of MLive.com, Johnson wasn’t wearing a brace as he stood on the sidelines during the portion of practice open to the media. Johnson injured his knee Monday, didn’t practice Wednesday, but practiced Thursday.

The Lions will issue their full injury report later this afternoon.

It’s likely just a rest day for Megatron, especially with Optimus Prime coming to town this weekend.
