Before he became the Bears' head coach this year, Ben Johnson spent the last six seasons as a Lions assistant. And he's been telling his players what to expect when they play in Detroit on Sunday.

"They know what kind of hostile environment this is going to be," Johnson said.

Johnson, who was the Lions' offensive coordinator, said the Lions' playmakers are going to be tough to deal with and will look faster on the field than they looked on tape.

"I think they have a couple players on that offense who are elite in this league," Johnson said. "Until you're out there — you see it on tape, but we've been talking about it all week."

Johnson spoke specifically about the Lions' running backs, Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

"Speed. Elite speed. Probably the fastest in the NFL at his position," Johnson said of Gibbs.

But Gibbs might not even be the Lions' No. 1 running back.

"Montgomery is one of those guys who likes to set the tone, lower his shoulder, wants to be a spark, very dependable player, really can't say enough good things," Johnson said. "When you've got two backs like that who are complementary of each other, want each other to do well, it makes it really hard because there's always a threat on the field, and they're dabbling with having them both on the field at the same time, which makes it very challenging."

It's going to be a challenge for both the Lions and the Bears, as the loser is 0-2 and all alone in last place in the NFC North.

The Raiders added starting right guard Jackson Powers-Johnson to their injury report Friday.

He did not practice Friday with a concussion.

Powers-Johnson was not on the injury report Thursday, so it is unknown when he was injured.

It seems unlikely that Power-Johnson would pass concussion protocol before Monday night's game against the Chargers.

Veteran Alex Cappa would start for Powers-Johnson.

Tight end Brock Bowers (knee) did not practice for a second consecutive day.

Michael Mayer and Ian Thomas are behind Bowers on the depth chart.

Linebacker Elandon Roberts (elbow) returned to limited work Friday after missing Thursday's session.

It looks like DK Metcalf will not have to tangle with former teammate Devon Witherspoon when the Steelers host the Seahawks on Sunday.

Witherspoon is listed as doubtful to play with a knee injury that kept him out of practice all week. The cornerback was injured in Week 1's loss to the 49ers, but he was able to remain in the game.

Josh Jobe would step into the starting lineup if Witherspoon is out while Riq Woolen will likely remain in the starting lineup after a rough game against the Niners.

While there's some home that Witherspoon will play, the Seahawks will definitely be missing safety Nick Emmanwori. He's been ruled out with a sprained ankle.
