Tag: Detroit Lions Inactives

In less than two hours, the Detroit Lions will take the field against the New York Giants in what many are calling a ‘must-win’ game for the home team. Following their 16-9 loss the Eagles on Sunday Night Football, the Lions dropped to 6-4. More importantly, with that loss, the Lions are now sitting in third place in the NFC North (trailing Chicago and Green Bay), and if the playoffs started today, they would be sitting on the outside looking in.

Detroit Lions Inactive List

Just moments ago, the Lions released their Week 12 Inactives List, so we now now exactly who will and will not be suiting up for today’s game at Ford Field.

Here is the Lions Week 12 Inactives List:

Bottom Line

With a win (and some help from the Steelers and Vikings), the Lions could be back in first place in the NFC North heading into their Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

The Detroit Lions have released their official inactives list ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.

As expected, head coach Dan Campbell and his staff had to make some tough decisions with several players dealing with injuries and roster depth considerations.

Why It Matters

The inactive list always provides the final clues to a team’s game plan. Key scratches could reveal how Detroit plans to handle Green Bay’s defensive front, their revamped passing attack, or how they’ll rotate along the offensive and defensive lines.

With the Lions looking to defend their NFC North crown, every roster decision is magnified, and Week 1 sets the tone.
