On Thanksgiving Day, the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings will square off in what will be an extremely important game in terms of the NFC North standings. With a win, the Lions (6-4) will climb to within one game of the Vikings (8-2) for 1st place in the North, while a loss would drop them three games back with just five games to play.

Both the Lions and Vikings held their last practice of the week before Thursday’s game and each team has released their final injury report.

As you can see, both CB Jamal Agnew and RB Dwayne Washington have already been ruled out, while DE Ezekiel Ansah and LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin are both listed as questionable.

If Ansah is able to take the field on Thursday, it could be a huge boost for a Lions defense that has struggled to get pressure on the quarterback on a regular basis.
