Injury roundup: Patrick Peterson sprains ankle

Calvin Johnson was on the field Sunday in Detroit, but he's clearly not the same Megatron. He didn't have a single target in the game until the third quarter, and then he limped off the field after his first catch.

Lions coach Jim Caldwell essentially admitted last week that Johnson was a decoy in Detroit's game because of his knee injury, and he did not look healthy this week either. Running back Reggie Bush also left during the second half of the game with an ankle injury. Both players left the game and did not return.

Here are the other injury situations from Week 5 that we're tracking:

» New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham was ruled out with a shoulder injury suffered in the first half of the team's game against Tampa Bay. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source informed of his condition, that the Saints believe Graham's shoulder is sprained.

» Arizona Cardinals star Patrick Peterson exited the team's loss to the Broncos. The cornerback told NFL Media's Alex Flanagan it's a sprained ankle.

» Cardinals defensive end Calais Campbell (sprained MCL) did not return against the Broncos after suffering an injury on a chop block in the third quarter. Coach Bruce Arians said he'll miss two to four weeks. 

» The Cardinals also saw quarterback Drew Stanton suffer a concussion. Logan Thomasreplaced him in the lineup.

» Broncos running back Montee Ball suffered a groin injury in the third quarter. According to the Denver Post, Ball will be "out a while." He's set to undergo an MRI on Monday.

» New York Giants running back Rashad Jennings suffered a knee sprain in a victory over the Atlanta Falcons and didn't return.
