Calvin Johnson Jr. has his hands full on Dancing With the Stars. Literally. The former NFL player and professional dance partner Lindsay Arnold are getting a new addition to their team for the trio dance and it's none other than Lindsay's pal Witney Carson.

"When Witney and I get together, we do things that are kind of insane," Lindsay says as the two tickle Calvin and tackle each other.

They're dancing the salsa together and there are going to be lifts. Many, many, lifts.

"It's the semi-finals, we have to show people something they haven't seen before," Lindsay says in the video above. "I've already done some pretty insane lifts with Calvin and we have to top it."

Can Calvin handle the two pals? Can Witney and Lindsay handle each other? From the looks of the preview, tonight should be very interested.

Calvin and Lindsay finally got a perfect score during week eight for their quickstep to "Dr. Bones" by Cherry Poppin' Daddies. The duo are up against Terra Jole and Sasha Farber, Jana Kramer and Gleb Savchenko, James Hinchcliffe and Sharna Burgess (yes, she's back on the dance floor after her knee injury) and Laurie Hernandez and Val Chmerkovskiy in the semi-finals.

Witney joins their team for the trio dance after competing with Vanilla Ice. They were eliminated fourth.

Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays, 8 p.m. on ABC.
