The team announced this afternoon that they’ve placed LB Jarrad Davis on their Reserve/Covid-19 list. This means that Davis has either contracted the illness, or has recently been in close contact with someone who had tested positive.

Per NFL rules, the team is not allowed to comment on his medical status. Right now, his playing status for this weekend’s division matchup against the Minnesota Vikings remains unclear.
In order for Davis to rejoin the Lions, he’ll have to have passed any of the following requirements: ten days since symptoms first appeared, 72 hours without symptoms, or approval from the team physician in concert with local guidelines.
Davis played college ball at Florida and was drafted by the Lions in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft. So far in 2020, Davis has amassed 8 tackles and two forced fumbles.

New Detroit Lions DE Everson Griffen looking forward to debut
The Detroit Lions pulled off a deal last week, acquiring Everson Griffen from the Dallas Cowboys to help shore up their defensive unit.

Almost immediately after the trade, Griffen took to social media to express his excitement over heading to the Motor City and promising to be a “motherf****in dog ready to eat.”
And while he wasn’t able to make his Lions debut during Sunday’s setback against the Indianapolis Colts, he’s looking forward to doing so this weekend against the Minnesota Vikings. And he’s certainly fired up.
Griffen took to social media to once again share his thoughts, with a bit of a more philosophical approach this time:
He’s getting ready to participate in his first practice this week after clearing the COVID-19 testing process. And after having played in 154 career games since 2010, it’s safe to say that Griffen is indeed one of the “real” ones.
