Lions Coach expects WR and RB to play against Seahawks

Two weeks after their playing together against the Washington Redskins, the Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, wide receiver Calvin Johnson and running back Kevin Smith will likely play together again this weekend, this time against the Seattle Seahawks.

Stafford has been limited in practice for this week with a sore right knee; Johnson has missed the Lions past two games with the same injury but he has been able to practice all the week; Smith injured a shoulder during last weekend’s 17-10 loss to St. Louis Rams and missed Wednesday’s practice but took part in workouts Thursday and Friday. All of the three are expected by Coach Jim Schwartz to wear back their Lions jerseys and play at Seattle this Sunday.

As the group of three led the Lions to their only win of the season by playing together against the Redskins, perhaps Schwartz just hopes that the same thing will happen this Sunday but uniting the three again.
