NEW ORLEANS -- Receiver Calvin Johnson and four other Detroit Lions who had been listed as questionable for Monday night's game against New Orleans are available to play.
Johnson has been nursing an ankle injury, while tight end Eric Ebron was sick. Defensive tackle Haloti Ngata had a neck injury, right tackle Michael Ola had knee soreness and safety Glover Quin had an ankle injury.
Saints right guard Jahri Evans, listed as probable this week after missing two games with an ankle injury, has been activated, as has defensive tackle John Jenkins, who missed the past two games with concussion symptoms.

Detroit's inactives are receiver Corey Fuller, running back George Winn, offensive tackle Corey Robinson, center Gabe Ikard, cornerback Bill Bentley, and defensive tackles Jermelle Cudjo and Gabe Wright.
