Injuries are a serious concern for a playoff run

Still does.

Cap Jack is playing as well as any Lions LB has in quite some time…

David Long is having a weird year, but was a really solid player from. 21-23’ snd should be in his prime, playing for his career the next 5-8 weeks.

Neiman and Nowaske aren’t great, but they are playing decent ball for what they are…

JRM should be back in 1-2 weeks…likely 3 more games til we get AA back-

We have no clue on Rodrigo.

Thanks for posting it this way
I am concerned about the growing list of injuries as well
But — I think we don’t realize how loaded this roster is

11-1
We’re in uncharted territory :+1:

Muhammad, Z Smith had 2.5 sacks at edge this week…. We need Levi or Josh back and we need Comish bsck soon too

Does anyone have a spreadsheet of the injury situation and expected return date of those out?

Dan campbell 3d chess. There was a reason he filled the staff with former players. Time to activate them. Sheppard and glenn suit up next week!

Getting Nowaske back could be huge!
Rodrigo is one of my favorite Lions. I hope he’s not out long.

I don’t recall Nowaske ever missing time?

Notable guys on other teams practice squads right now that have experience in our system where we’re really hurting on defense:

LB Josh Woods, ATL
LB Anthony Pittman, JAX
DT Bruce Hector, NYJ
DT Quinton Bohanna, SEA
CB Chase Lucas, SF

Highly doubt we’d be looking at any of them, but they’re out there.

Bohanna and Pittman I’d look at - nice find and thanks for posting.

He started the season on another roster. Can’t remember which team.
Just checked. It was Arizona. He spent 23 there.


Decker
C.D

Also didn’t play on thanksgiving

Hurt on Thanksgiving

Levi O
Pascal
Malcom R

What do we do with this defense?

I could see all these injuries really start to affect this defense and this team for the rest of the regular season. I think we are going to have to win shoot outs in a few of these games if we want to hold the #1 seed.

Next man up only works for so long and then depth replacing depth starts to happen and you can’t sustain.

Hope brad calls a combine for Sunday at Allen Park. We need lots of bodies!

Yep. Coach plays 3D chess. QB plays 3D chest.

We need bodies but I will say this

For all the injury concerns, if

Pascal
Levi O
Rodrigo

Are all out, BUT

CD3
Decker

Play, even tho it’s 3 vs 2 - I think having the bottom 2 back is more important and I would consider us “more healthy” as a result
