*Practice designations are based on estimations
The Detroit Lions opened Week 12 with five starters listed as non-participants, including Terrion Arnold (concussion), Brian Branch (toe), Taylor Decker (shoulder), Kerby Joseph (knee), and Penei Sewell (ankle).
Detroit had a large group of limited participants, featuring Marcus Davenport, Graham Glasgow, Josh Paschal, Tate Ratledge, D.J. Reed, Isaac TeSlaa, Sione Vaki, and Brock Wright.
Four players were listed as full participants: Miles Frazier, Kalif Raymond (cramping), Malcolm Rodriguez, and Jacob Saylors.
Bottom Line
Following their 16-9 loss to the Eagles, the Lions would be out of the playoffs if they were to start today. That said, the they have a golden opportunity to get back in the win column on Sunday against the Giants before they shift their focus to their Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
