The Detroit Lions face off against the Green Bay Packers this week and because the game is on Monday instead of Sunday, there is a slight schedule change in how the injury report is released. The first report of the week comes out on Thursday—instead of Wednesday—and the teams don’t have to declare injury designations until Saturday.
With the extra day, comes more information for the media to observe and absorb. On Wednesday, the Lions held a shortened practice and we got a first look at the roster post-Week 1. There were several in-game injuries and some players were still dealing with them mid-week.
