The Detroit Lions may be making another transaction soon.
Last Saturday, a day before the Lions were to face the Falcons in London, Detroit suspended defensive tackle C.J. Mosley for two weeks for conduct detrimental to the team and promptly sent him back to the States.
Nick Fairley may miss the rest of the season, and the Detroit Lions will find their depth tested as a result.
If the Detroit Lions are at all fixated on making up for last season's collapse, they've put themselves in a position to do just that.
It is one thing for the Lions fans and some in the local media to start thinking ahead to the post season, but is it a good sign when someone in the national spotlight feels the same way.
"My first goal is ... how are we going to get this win," Reggie Bush said Tuesday. "That's the best attitude you can approach it with."
Johnson has not played since Oct. 5, when he aggravated an ankle injury in a game against the Buffalo Bills.
"There are no perfect scenarios in this league," Caldwell said. "It just doesn't happen that way. Typically there's going to be an issue."

Caldwell said the team is seeking a second opinion on Fairley but that the amount of time Fairley will miss is still unknown.
If the Detroit Lions are going to make the playoffs, they need their offensive weapons to get healthy and stay healthy.
Detroit's star-crossed NFL franchise is now alone in first place in the NFC North thanks to a pair of improbable victories the last two weekends.
It might be scary for Lions fans to hope, given how they have been burned in the past, but Detroit is giving plenty of reasons for optimism.
While lineman Jack Miller said the Wolverines meant no disrespect to the Spartans, he was not surprised they were offended at the gesture.
The Lions had an amazing come from behind victory against the Atlanta Falcons but to me that wasn't the best part of the game.
