What Ty Johnson brings to the Lions backfield with Kerryon Johnson out

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Ty Johnson heard the news about his teammate Kerryon Johnson and knew from almost the get-go it would be different. He first made sure the Detroit Lions' starting running back was OK after having knee surgery Tuesday.

Then he realized that, yes, he might be in for more work himself.

“Like if I’m doing treatment now, I’ll watch film now and now I got to amp it up to another level, just because, you know, I don’t want to be the guy to go in there and then I’m messing up,” Ty Johnson said.
