Gardner-Johnson was injured in Week 2 and has not played since. There were initial fears that he would be out for the season after suffering a torn pec, but as early as October he pledged to be back in time for the playoffs. Not only has he done that, but he beat the target by a week.

The Lions have nothing to play for Sunday, so they may ease Gardner-Johnson back into action. Expect him to factor in heavily once the playoffs start.
