Pride of Detroit
The Detroit Lions (7-4) and Green Bay Packers (7-3-1) have declared their injury designations ahead of their Week 13 NFC North battle on Thanksgiving Day.
Let’s take a look at the latest injury report and get you up to date with what we know. Note: Any changes from the last injury report will be bolded.
Raymond injured his ankle in Week 12, and with a quick turnaround between games, he was unable to heal up in time for this matchup.
Wright injured his neck in Week 12, and while he returned to the game against the Giants, he was estimated not to have practiced this week. Look for Ross Dwelley to step into the TE1 role, with help from Dan Skipper, and Anthony Firkser—who is on the practice squad but could be elevated or signed ahead of the game.
Glasgow not being able to play is a big blow to a unit that was already down Christian Mahogany. While everyone will surely be hoping to see Frank Ragnow (who is reportedly coming out of retirement to re-sign with the Lions) suit up, the odds are that it will likely be Trystan Colon.
Paschal is now out of days in his injury evaluation window, and with him being downgraded to no practice the past two days, it’s fair to wonder if the Lions will elect to keep him on NFI and end his season or activate him to the 53-man roster. If activated, he won’t play in this game with an “out” designation.
Joseph was basically ruled out by coach Dan Campbell on Tuesday, so this was an expected decision. The hope is that he could be returning to the field soon.
”To Kerby’s credit, man, he is rehabbing, he’s putting in the work,” Campbell said on Tuesday. “He knows the work he’s putting in now will hopefully keep us from having to ride this wave up and down. ‘OK, he’s back, now he’s not able to go.’ That’s kind of what all this is about, is man, getting him to a point (where) we strengthen some of these; stabilize some of this, the muscles in this area, and get him to where, ‘Alright, here we go, man.’ Doesn’t mean it’s going to alleviate some of the pain, but it’s going to make him feel a lot better, and he will be more than functional. He will be able to produce and be ready for the next week.”
