LOWLY LIONS Lions try to regroup after latest disaster ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) Jim Schwartz knows that the Detroit Lions need to find some big plays in what has become a moribund offense.

Schwartz says he isn't sure whether Johnson will be ready for Sunday's visit to Seattle (2-5).

T25-OREGON-BLOUNT No announcement on Blount yet, Oregon coach says EUGENE, Ore. (AP) Oregon coach Chip Kelly says no decision has been made about the possible reinstatement of suspended running back LeGarrette Blount.

Kelly spoke to reporters Monday during his weekly teleconference.

Blount was suspended for punching Boise State defensive end Byron Hout in the aftermath of Oregon's season-opening loss to the Broncos. He was suspended for the season by Kelly the next day, but allowed to continue practicing with the team.

Kelly later announced that Blount could be reinstated if he met certain conditions.

There was speculation Blount could return this week because Kelly had previously targeted Saturday's game against Stanford as his first possible appearance.
