Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson missed practice again on Thursday and likely will miss Week 7 with a high ankle sprain.

In fact, Johnson has said he doesn’t want to play if he is just going to be used as a decoy. He sat out last week’s win over the Minnesota Vikings.

The 29-year-old Johnson has compiled only 22 receptions and two touchdowns in this injury-marred season.

The next time Johnson takes the field could be when the Lions return to action after their bye week on Nov. 9 against the Miami Dolphins.
