The Lions are reportedly facing a roster shortage ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The team has placed six players on the reserve/COVID-19 list over the last week and reportedly had 12 players and six coaches who came down with the flu.
The situation reportedly caused the Lions to engage in discussions Saturday to determine what measures they could take if more players tested positive for the virus ahead of the game.
One such scenario involved postponing the game until Monday, although Schefter reported that those discussions were no longer active.
