Let’s face it, not many people believe the Detroit Lions will have a let down this coming Sunday and lose to the winless Cleveland Browns. After all, the Lions are clearly the better team and they have the home-field advantage (though that has not been very helpful for them this season).

According to a report from the Detroit News, if the Lions want to handle their business and come away with a win over the Browns, they are going to have to do so without a trio of players.

On Friday, OL T.J. Lang (concussion), DE Ezekiel Ansah (back), and LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin (angle) all missed the final practice of the week, which means they are likely to be inactive for Sunday’s game.

Lang, who made through Monday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers, began feeling concussion symptoms on Wednesday and has not practiced since.

Detroit Lions waive OT Greg Robinson, which can only mean one thing, right?

On Friday, the Detroit Lions announced they have waived former No. 2 overall pick, Greg Robinson.

Though a corresponding move has not officially been made, the thought is that Robinson’s roster spot will go to left tackle Taylor Decker, who has yet to play this season due to injury.

Decker, who was drafted by the Lions in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, started all 16 games during his rookie season and he was more than formidable at left tackle.

With Matthew Stafford taking sacks at an alarming rate, Decker would be a welcomed addition if he is, in fact, able to return to the lineup on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.
