|Prior to their Wild Card playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams, the Detroit Lions have declared some players inactive
Prior to their playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card round, the Detroit Lions have declared
themselves inactive. However, there is some exciting news: star tight end Sam LaPorta is available and will play.
LaPorta is having an incredible season, nominated for both the Pro Bowl and the
second team All-Pro, and he has set numerous tight end and rookie records. Sadly, LaPorta suffered an injury in
Week 18. Despite the fact that things didn’t seem good at first, he has steadily improved and is ready to play.
Following the placement of corner Jerry Jacobs and tight end James Mitchell on
injured reserve, the Lions had to make a few roster changes this week. The Lions added corner Chase Lucas and tight end
Anthony Firkser from their practice squad in matching moves. Detroit now has 55 players on the field for the game
after the Lions promoted defensive lineman Tyson Alualu and fullback Jason Cabinda from the practice squad.
The Lions are able to increase their game-day roster from 47 to 48 players because they will have eight offensive
linemen available for Sunday’s contest. Consequently, the Lions must declare seven players inactive for today’s game
because there are 48 players who are eligible to play and 55 players on the gameday roster.
Lions inactives:
QB Hendon Hooker — designated as the team’s emergency quarterback
WR Kalif Raymond (knee) — Ruled out on Friday
DT Brodric Martin
EDGE Julian Okwara
EDGE Charles Harris
CB Steven Gilmore
S Tracy Walker
Unless both of Detroit’s other quarterback options are sidelined by
injury, Hooker will again be the Lions’ backup quarterback and will not play in
today’s game. Hooker would then be permitted to join the game and become active.
Donovan Peoples-Jones appears to be the most likely candidate to take over as the starting wide receiver and punt returner in Raymond’s absence.
Despite being healthy, Okwara, Harris, and Martin will not play this week due to a healthy roster, particularly on the defensive line.
Similarly, Walker won’t play because C.J. Gardner Johnson is back, and Gilmore is
once again a healthy scratch for the Lions’ secondary.
