Have they got that right? I've been reading everywhere that they "didn't" practice on Friday, but should play.

NOTEBOOK: Calvin Johnson (knee) and Roy Williams (hip) did not practice Friday and are listed as questionable, along with cornerback Travis Fisher (knee). Williams said he would play Sunday. When asked about the receivers, Marinelli said: "I think they'll be fine. I think so, yeah."

They are going to play.. its pretty much a non issue.. except Kitna is not playing.

Adam Schefter, NFL.com

Though backup quarterback Dan Orlovsky will start for the Detroit Lions today in place of injured starter Jon Kitna against Minnesota, he will have reinforcements on offense. Despite the fact that both of Detroit's starting wide receivers were listed as questionable, Calvin Johnson and Roy Williams will be active and are expected to start. Johnson was questionable with a knee injury; Williams questionable with a hip injury. Both receivers will play.
