The Detroit Lions will be without key players both on offense and defense this week as they host the 6-3 Carolina Panthers.
Friday afternoon, the team declared that receiver Marvin Jones Jr., tight end Michael Roberts and defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson will all miss Sunday’s contest.
For the Lions offense, it’s a critical hit to a team that has struggled to find its footing since trading Golden Tate away a couple weeks ago. In the past two games, the Lions have scored just 31 total points and incurred 16 sacks.
