The Detroit Lions are a better team than the Green Bay Packers. That much was made clear by both the first matchup between the two teams (Lions won 34-20) and the teams’ current overall record (Lions: 8-2; Packers: 4-6). But as we enter the Week 12 matchup between the two teams, another factor heavily favors the Lions: health.
On Tuesday’s injury report, only one of the Lions’ 53 players was not a full participant in practice: left guard Jonah Jackson. The Packers, on the other hand, have 14 players who were either listed as limited or a non-participant in Tuesday’s walkthrough.
