Running back Ty Johnson is being evaluated for a concussion after leaving the Bears game.

As a result, the Lions currently have two running backs behind backup quarterback Jeff Driskel - Paul Perkins and J.D. McKissic.

Perkins was signed back to the 53-man roster last week after spending time on the practice squad.

Perkins was originally claimed by the Lions via waivers from the New York Giants earlier this season.
