Line judge Carl Johnson heads to locker room with apparent shoulder injury after being hit by Packers player.
Line judge Carl Johnson exited the Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers matchup after being hit by a Packers player in the third quarter on Thursday Night Football.
Both Lions and Packers staff surrounded Johnson after he fell to the ground. Johnson headed to the locker room with an apparent shoulder injury.
Johnson eventually returned to the divisional showdown after the Lions scored a touchdown to reclaim the lead, 24-21, with 5:02 remaining in the third quarter.
This is an important matchup for both teams. The Lions are beaten down by injuries but hope to continue their win streak with a triumph over Green Bay. The task was certainly made harder by the latest injury to star defensive lineman Alim McNeill.
