Earlier on Sunday, we told the story of journeyman Dan Skipper and his first NFL start in the Detroit Lions’ 36-27 win over the Washington Commanders. Definitely check out that full story for some awesome quotes from Skipper, but here’s the cliffnotes version: In six years, Skipper has never made an initial 53-man roster, never started an NFL game, is clearly best served to play offensive tackle. Yet due to Detroit’s ridiculous injury situation at guard and center, the Lions relied upon Skipper to play left guard on Sunday against one of the most feared defensive tackle duos in Duron Payne and Jonathan Allen.
