If facing All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald wasn’t going to be enough of a challenge for Detroit’s offensive line on Sunday, the Rams were also getting back defensive tackle Michael Brockers and defensive end William Hayes, both of whom missed last week’s loss to Buffalo.
The Rams were still without Pro Bowl defensive end Robert Quinn, but Donald, Hayes and Brockers form a potent trio upfront.
To make matter worse for Detroit, guard Larry Warford was inactive due to a hip injury, meaning rookie guard Graham Glasgow would be getting his first NFL start, joining left tackle Taylor Decker as rookie starters along Detroit’s offensive line.
