The Lions will be live streaming Johnson’s ceremony at halftime of their game against the Ravens.

The Detroit Lions and Calvin Johnson may not have resolved all of their differences yet but the sides are getting there. One sign of progress: the legendary Lions receiver will be at the team’s Week 3 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens at Ford Field.

At halftime, Johnson will be a part of the ceremony honoring his Pro Football Hall of Fame induction earlier this year. He will also receive his iconic Hall of Fame ring.

If you’re lucky enough to go to the game, you’ll not only get to watch the team honor one of their best players in franchise history, but you can also take the opportunity to snap a picture with Megatron’s Hall of Fame bust, which will be inside Ford Field for Sunday’s game. The bust will be on display at Gate G of Ford Field from when gates open at 11 a.m. ET to 1:45 p.m. ET. From 1:45 p.m. ET to the end of the game, the bust of legendary defender Alex Karras—who was also inducted into the Hall of Fame this year—will be on display. Karras will also be posthumously honored prior to the start of the game.

But if you aren’t lucky enough to go to Sunday’s game, the Lions are still live streaming Johnson’s halftime ceremony. You can watch it below or through this link. Obviously, it depends on how the game proceeds, but the ceremony is expected to go live around 2:15-2:30 p.m. ET.
