ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) – Matthew Stafford dropped back and sailed a spiral through the air, over his intended target and onto the ground. Thud. The Detroit Lions gave their first glimpse of what life is like on the field without Calvin Johnson on Thursday, when the media had access to an offseason training activity for the first time this year. It didn’t look good without Johnson on the field, leaving a relatively lackluster lot of receivers in Honolulu blue and silver. Stafford’s top options seemed to be a pair of newcomers, Marvin Jones and Jeremy Kerley, and TJ Jones. Golden Tate was absent from the voluntary workout, and Caldwell said he wasn’t hurt. Marvin Jones, meanwhile, also said he’s getting tired of hearing questions about joining a receiving corps that is expected to take a hit without the spectacular player known as Megatron.
