How will the NFL schedule-makers treat the Lions this year?"On Tuesday Womens Theo Riddick Jersey , the NFL announced that the 2019 regular season schedule will be released on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET. While some of the excitement of the event has already been spoiled since we already know the Detroit Lions 2019 home and away opponents, the real excitement is seeing how many nationally televised games they’ll have this season.We already know the Lions will have the Thanksgiving Day Classic—in spite of efforts from the Eagles to take them on the road—but will the Lions break into the primetime audience after a disappointing 6-10 season? Today’s Question of the Day is:How many primetime games do you think the Lions will have on their initial schedule? My answer: It would be hard to justify more than one. The Lions weren’t only disappointing in 2019, but they were actually quite boring, too. Their offense was no longer the highlight machine it used to be, and the thrilling fourth-quarter comebacks were gone. The defense was even tougher to watch Womens Matthew Stafford Jersey , especially in the first half of the season.That being said, there are reasons to believe Detroit could be more thrilling this year. A new offensive coordinator is in town, the Lions grabbed arguably the best defensive player in free agency, and with a top-10 pick coming in (pending a trade), the Lions could be one of the better bounce-back stories in 2019.However Danny Amendola Jersey , if I were the NFL, I’d hedge my bets. If the Lions turn out to be a surprise team in 2019, then you can flex them into primetime for “Sunday Night Football.” Otherwise, they’re a hard sell nationally right now.Your turn. ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions put rookie running back Kerryon Johnson on injured reserve with a knee injury.Detroit also activated returner Jamal Agnew from IR on Wednesday. Agnew has been out since Week 5 because of a knee injury. The Lions host Minnesota on Sunday.Johnson ran for 641 yards and three scores before his injury last month. He also had 32 receptions for 213 yards and a score. Johnson ran for a season-high 158 yards in a win at Miami and had 101 yards rushing in a victory over New England.“We have to keep the run game going like we’ve been doing since Kerryon got hurt Christian Jones Jersey White ,” coach Matt Patricia said. “Kerryon, obviously, was great when he was out there and it’s part of the season of growing and learning as a young player, but right now it’s all about the Vikings for us and the players that we have.”Johnson, a second-round draft pick from Auburn Ricky Wagner Jersey White , has rushed for more yards this season than any Detroit player since 2014 — despite playing in only 10 games.Detroit added depth at running back by signing running back Justin Stockton to the practice squad and cutting guard Salesi Uhatafe from it.Agnew’s return could help. He was an All-Pro last season as a rookie after returning two punts for touchdowns. He also plays cornerback.“He’s someone that works really hard and has really done everything we’ve asked to push through his situation,” Patricia said. “I think in the beginning part of the year and really through the spring, there was a lot of growth and a lot of development there, not only in special teams but on defense, which was great to see.”
