ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions are assured of finishing under .500 for the second straight season and won't go to the playoffs for the third straight year.
So with four games remaining in another lost season, there is a chance for the franchise and some of its players to get a jump on 2020 -- especially younger players who either haven’t been given a chance or have no assurances of being on the roster next season.
And for some veteran players, these games can help solidify their standing on the team or in their current roles.
