The Detroit Lions have declared their Game Day inactives for their Week 4 matchup with the New Orleans Saints.
The Lions elected to not elevate any players from their practice squad this week, meaning they enter today’s game with 53-players on their roster and because they have kept eight offensive linemen on their active game-day roster, they are now eligible to expand their roster from 46- to 48-players — meaning they only need to declare five players inactive.
Here are those five players.
Lions’ inactives list
- C.J. Moore, Groin — Previously ruled OUT
- TE Hunter Bryant, Hamstring
- OG Logan Stenberg
- LB Elijah Lee
- CB Chris Jones
Moore and Lee will be a loss to the Lions special teams, but with Jayron Kearse back on the field, it’s not overly significant. Rookies Bryant and Stenberg get another week to sit back and learn, while Jones isn’t needed with the cornerback group gaining Desmond Trufant this week.
Saints inactive list
- WR Michael Thomas, Ankle
- TE Jared Cook, Groin
- LG Andrus Peat, Ankle
- EDGE Marcus Davenport, Elbow/Toe
- CB Marcus Lattimore, Hamstring
- CB Janoris Jenkins, Shoulder
- DT Shy Tuttle
The Saints had all but one of their inactives determined on Friday when they declared six of their starters OUT for the game.
