Of course teams get healthier when they face the Lions.

Nowaske not listed, is he still on IR window?

[Motown Bombers]

Best one yet. The Lions get some good references.

I just saw that Josh Allen is pretty bad vs. pressure. 39% completion and about a 50 QB rating. Goff, meanwhile, has been one of the better QBs vs. pressure this year, but the narrative would be reversed regarding these QBs. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Any injury update on Emanuel Mosley or is he done for the season yet again?

[Motown Bombers]

Moseley isn't even on the injury report anymore. 

[MichiganCardinal]

He was a healthy scratch last week to allow for more defensive linemen to dress in the rotation, but if I had to guess there is a growing lack of trust there.

I haven't found an update though saying they expect to have him in the lineup or that he's even practicing with the team. Pride of Detroit just said he was off the injury report, but nothing more. It would be nice to get more depth back on defense.

If he isn't on the injury report, he's practicing. Birkett said everyone on the 53 man roster was at practice.

Moseley on active roster per NFL.com.

It's a dumb take by Orlovsky. The defense is overall really good, there is not some glaring weakness in the secondary that has just gone untapped by opposing offenses. Especially with Branch as a free floating safety. He claims that they are "good, not great" and I think that's significantly underselling how well Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph have played, who are the reinforcements coming on those very deep shots against man coverage.

If you're an opposing offense facing a healthy Lions defense, you're probably not going have success running the ball and you're probably not going to sustain a long drive, so in that sense, sure, might as well try to take a deep shot every now and then if you can get single coverage. If one connects you're in business. But you're going to get some of those picked off if you're doing it three times a quarter.

Question is will he go with Glenn if he leaves or becomes our Def cord

I think he would be more likely to go with Ben Johnson. If Glenn gets a job with the Saints, he probably sticks with the Lions. Better chance for a Super Bowl and a future head coaching job.

Points given up the Lions in the 2nd half of their past 7 games: 0, 11, 0, 0, 0, 20, 24

I’m hoping a lot of the breakthroughs the past couple of games is due to injuries and depth and that the hoped for return of a few players this week will help with that. Buffalo is a very good 2nd half team, by the way. 

[Sports_Freak]

This game is more important than many Lion fans realize. A Super Bowl contender opponent that is coming off a loss. Their defense looked horrible last week and I'm sure they will be foaming at the mouth to get back out there and prove themselves. Meanwhile, Detroit wants to prove they belong in a conversation as an elite team with Super Bowl hopes. A loss would bring up some negative talk from their "fans."

Give that man a designated driver, lol. The Lions’ defense incurs enough injuries on the field, don’t need any on the roads as well.
