ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Last season, Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson was a typical no-show at Wednesday practices as he rested his knee and finger. This season, though, Johnson missed practice for the first time Wednesday.

He was one of four Lions not spotted during the media portion of practice along with linebacker Travis Lewis, cornerback Cassius Vaughn and safety Don Carey.

Johnson appeared to tweak his ankle during Sunday's win against Green Bay, but didn't seem too concerned about it after the game. Lewis sat out last week with a quad injury. Vaughn missed the Packers' game with an ankle injury and was in a walking boot. Carey tweaked his hamstring early against Green Bay and did not return.

Right tackle LaAdrian Waddle, as he said he would Monday, returned to practice but was mostly standing off to the side during the portion of practice the media was able to watch. Also, James Ihedigbo was at practice and participating.

Also, for the first time, a couple of Lions players were spotted in different yellow jerseys -- likely signifying they are simulating Jets players in practice. Tight end Jordan Thompson was wearing the No. 85 of Jeff Cumberland and Andrew Peacock was wearing the No. 11 of Jeremy Kerley.
