Detroit Lions Week 7 Injury Report: Update on Jamal Agnew and T.J. Lang
After defeating the Green Bay Packers in Week 5, the Detroit Lions, who were on their bye week, were able to sit back and watch the NFL’s Week 6 games.
This week, things will be back to normal as the Lions prepare for a trip down south to take on the Miami Dolphins in what will be an extremely important game for both teams. The Lions are currently 2-3 and need a win to stay in the hunt in the NFC North while the Dolphins, who moved to 4-2 with an overtime win over the Chicago Bears, are tied for 1st place in the AFC East with the New England Patriots.
One of the best parts of a bye week is that teams have the chance to get rested and healthy. For the Detroit Lions, that was certainly the case as they could be getting back one of their key offensive linemen this week.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Lions guard T.J. Lang, who suffered a concussion a couple of weeks ago, has improved and could play against the Dolphins.
