Detroit Lions Injury Report: 1 Players ruled OUT, 1 DOUBTFUL for matchup vs. Saints
The Detroit Lions will look to rebound from a tough 29-22 Thanksgiving Day loss when they travel to face the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon. With a win, the Lions will improve to 9-3 on the season and cement their dominance in the NFC North, while a loss will have many wondering if the team is for real. The Lions have released their final injury report for the week, and as you can see below, they have a number of issues.
Player | Position | Injury | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Game Status |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Hendon Hooker* | QB | knee | LP | FP | FP | out |
Alex Anzalone | LB | hand | NP | NP | NP | doubtful |
Jonah Jackson | G | ankle/wrist | LP | FP | FP | questionable |
Ifeatu Melifonwu | S | hand | FP | FP | FP | |

Who is on the Detroit Lions Injury Report?
As you can see from the Lions’ final injury report of the week, Alex Anzalone has already been ruled OUT for Sunday’s game against the Saints.
Bottom Line: Just Win
There isn’t a single 53-man roster in the league that is 100% healthy at this point in the season, and the Lions are no exception. That being said, Detroit must find a way to recover from their loss to the Packers. Dan Campbell has done an excellent job of preparing his players for a game following a loss, and we hope that continues this Sunday against the Saints.
