The Detroit Lions are gearing up to face their divisional foe in the Green Bay Packers on Monday, and will be looking to earn their first win of the season to improve back to the .500 mark.
Of course, they’re already dealing with several notable injuries, the most significant of which include cornerback Jeff Okudah missing the rest of the season with an Achilles injury. On the offensive side of the ball, WR Tyrell Williams is most likely to be absent. To that end, offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn hinted during his media session today that both Trinity Benson and Amon-Ra St. Brown will likely have bigger roles agains the Packers:
