Prior to Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, the Detroit Lions announced their starting offense and there were a couple of surprises.
First, the Lions announced Matt Nelson as their starting left tackle, though it was rookie Penei Sewell who took the reps on the left side during warmups.
The second surprise came when Jamaal Williams was announced as the Lions starting running back, ahead of D’Andre Swift.
We will see what happens when the game begins but this caught our attention.
