The Detroit Lions are headed to Chicago for a bout with the Bears, and they’ve already made some interesting personnel choices. Whether it’s due to injury or something else, Detroit has opted to keep defensive end Bruce Irvin on the practice squad this week, despite him adding some juice to the pass rush against the Saints. He will not play.
At the defensive tackle position, after being elevated from the practice squad for three weeks straight, Quinton Bohanna will also be out this week, as he remains on the practice squad this Sunday.
Especially with Alim McNeill out for the next four week, that means the Lions are likely relying more on some players who have had limited or no roles over the past few weeks.
