It’s a pivotal matchup for the Detroit Lions against their divisional foes, the Green Bay Packers tonight on Monday Night Football. Though the Packers won’t have franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers available tonight, the Lions still face a tough test tonight in front of a national television audience.

The news that every Lions fan has been waiting to hear ahead of tonight’s game has just been released – the inactive list.

From Detroit’s official twitter, we have the official hand-written list:

The Lions will be without receiver Kenny Golladay for the fifth consecutive game; he hasn’t played since Week 3 against the Atlanta Falcons. T.J. Jones will likely see more game action in Golladay’s absence. The team has activated receivers Jared Abbrederis and Jace Billingsley as well.

Don Carey won’t be available and will likely be replaced by Teez Tabor on special teams reps. Carey was injured last week against the Steelers and was limited in practice all of this week. Greg Robinson will miss his second consecutive game with an ankle injury, and could be replaced by Brian Mihalik. 

The Lions will, however, get Paul Worrilow back tonight, who had been absent since Week 4’s win over the Minnesota Vikings. Rookie Jalen Reeves-Maybin could also see action as well. Steve Longa is inactive due to this.

The full inactive list includes Golladay, Robinson, Carey, Longa, running backs Tion Green and Zach Zenner and defensive end Jeremiah Valoaga.

Meanwhile, aside from Rodgers, the Packers will be without LB Joe Thomas, while Ahmad Brooks, Quinton Dial, and Martellus Bennett are all listed as “questionable”.
