The Facts: Johnson sat in last week's comeback win over the Saints after a lengthy pre-game workout. Now in London, preparing for Sunday's game against the Falcons, he sounds like a receiver angling to get back on the field sooner than later. "I'm back running," Johnson told NFL Media's Steve Wyche on Tuesday. "That's a great thing for me right now."

Diehards Line: While it would make the most sense for Johnson to sit out this week and compound that with a bye week full of rest and treatment, Johnson sounds like a player intent on playing as soon as possible. After all, the team has been playing well without him, or with Johnson in a seriously limited role. And a Lions team with a fully healthy Megatron would be scary.
