Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press writes that Lions WR Calvin Johnson could be in danger of missing Week 6’s game against the Vikings after he re-injured his ankle on Sunday.

Lions HC Jim Caldwell said he’s not sure how serious Johnson’s ankle injury is at this time, but he will undergo further testing on Monday.

“I won’t be certain if it’s a long-term issue, but he did take a pretty good whack right there on the side of his leg,” Caldwell said. “They looked at it, but they’ll evaluate him further, probably tomorrow and get a good look at him.”
