On Saturday night, the Detroit Lions will kick off their 2024 NFL Playoff campaign with a Divisional Round showdown at Ford Field against the Washington Commanders. The Lions, finishing the regular season with an impressive 15-2 record, secured the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Meanwhile, the Commanders, who wrapped up their season with a solid 12-5 record, earned the No. 6 seed and advanced to the Divisional Round after defeating the No. 3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night.
Earlier today, the Lions held their first padded practice since defeating the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18 to win the NFC North, and as you can see below, not everybody was able to suit up.
