The Detroit Lions struggled in their first preseason matchup of 2018 last week, losing a close game to the Oakland Raiders, 16-10. After that trip to California, the Lions are now back in Motown to host the New York Giants in their preseason home opener at Ford Field on Friday night.
It’s unclear whether starters like quarterback Matthew Stafford or defensive end Ezekiel Ansah will make their preseason debuts in Week Two. But traditionally, first-teamers on both sides of the ball see some playing time in the second exhibition game of the year.
