But Johnson's injury history could have the Lions looking to free agency or the draft to bolster the running back room. If they take the draft route, they'll have plenty of options in what most consider a very deep class of runners.
Lions general manager Bob Quinn listed running back among the four deepest position groups down here at the Scouting Combine when he spoke to reporters on Tuesday.
It's a versatile group of runners with a lot of production under their belt, led by Georgia's D'Andre Swift, a likely first-round pick.
While this class of runners is deep, it's not filled with a lot of top-end talent compared to some other positions, which is good for those teams looking to add a running back later in the first round and into Day 2 or Day 3 of the draft.
Wisconsin's Jonathan Taylor, for instance, recorded back-to-back 2,000-yard seasons, and will likely run the 40-yard dash Friday in the 4.3-second range, but most draft projections have him still available into Day 2.
"If you look at the next level, what separates the great backs from the elite backs is really them playing on an elite level day in and day out every Sunday," Taylor said Wednesday. "I think that's one of the biggest things that separates me is my ability to be consistent year in and year out."
