In less than 24 hours, on Thanksgiving Day, our Detroit Lions will host the Buffalo Bills at Ford Field. With a win, the Lions would move to 5-6 on the season, and they would be right square in the playoff hunt for the NFC. Earlier today, the Lions released their final injury report for the week, and we already know that Evan Brown, Charles Harris, Jonah Jackson, Jeff Okudah, and Josh Paschal have already been ruled OUT for Thursday's game.
Which players did the Detroit Lions elevate for Thanksgiving Day?
Just moments ago, the Lions announced they have elevated rookie LB James Houston and C Ross Pierschbacher from the practice squad to the Active/Inactive list.
