Bad news on the Detroit Lions injury front, and it comes from the pre-game. Starting outside CB Jerry Jacobs will not play against the Baltimore Ravens due to a knee injury.
Jacobs was downgraded to questionable for the game on Saturday with a new knee injury, apparently suffered late in Friday’s practice. He worked out on the field in Baltimore with trainers in warm-ups on Sunday and was ruled out, per Jennifer Hammond of the Lions’ broadcast team.
With Jacobs out, the Lions have some options to fill his cleats. Rookie Steven Gilmore is one, with Khalil Dorsey a more experienced option. Chase Lucas did get some reps on the outside during the summer. Will Harris has experience playing everywhere in the secondary as well.
