ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson said his once-injured right ankle came through Sunday's game against Miami "no worse for wear."

Yet Wednesday afternoon, Johnson was one of four players not participating in Lions practice. It is not clear, though, whether this is purely precautionary for Johnson, who sat out practices last season after he injured his knee to keep himself fresh for Sundays.

Also missing practice was running back Reggie Bush, who once again suffered an injury during the Lions' 20-16 win over Miami on Sunday. Both Johnson and Bush were watching practice however, unlike right guard Larry Warford and defensive tackle Nick Fairley, who were also not practicing.

In better news for the Lions, tight ends Joseph Fauria and Eric Ebron both practiced Wednesday, perhaps a sign that the duo could return for Sunday's game at Arizona. Also, right tackle LaAdrian Waddle participated in practice Wednesday, a sign he might be ready to go against the Cardinals after a knee injury forced him to miss some of the win against the Dolphins.
