For the second day in a row, the Detroit Lions will be without two of their top running backs.
On Saturday, Lions head coach Matt Patricia announced that both Bo Scarbrough and D’Andre Swift would miss today’s practice as they continue to deal with injuries.

Let’s hope these injuries are nothing major and that both RBs will be back in action sooner than later. (Especially Swift, as these training camp reps are very valuable to a rookie)

According to the Detroit Lions, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they have made the decision to not have fans in the stands for their first two home games of the 2020 season.

As the uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact communities throughout the United States and the State of Michigan, the Detroit Lions announced today that Ford Field will not have fans at their first two home games against the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints this season.
The Lions’ third home game is November 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. Whether fans can attend that or any other 2020 season games will continue to be evaluated while working diligently with healthcare officials at every level, as well as Governor Whitmer’s office.
“We have spent considerable time and resources implementing new gameday protocols at Ford Field and are ready to host fans at Lions games once approved by state guidelines,” said Lions Team President Rod Wood. “The health and safety of our players, coaches and staff, has been a focal point for all facets of 2020 season planning as demonstrated by being one of the first teams to gain approval from the NFL and NFLPA for meeting training camp COVID-19 requirements. We have the utmost confidence that we can provide a safe and enjoyable experience for fans at our stadium.”
