Ty Johnson will play vs. the Cowboys but FB Nick Bawden is now questionable

The Detroit Lions got some good news on Saturday on the injury front. Running back Ty Johnson has officially cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and removed from any injury designation.

Johnson is expected to start for the Lions against the visiting Dallas Cowboys. He left the Week 10 loss to Chicago after just five carries with a concussion.

The news isn’t so rosy for fullback Nick Bawden. He has been added to the injury report and is questionable for Sunday’s matchup in Ford Field. Bawden has a foot injury.
