The Detroit Lions will be healthier entering their Week 8 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders than they have been in a few weeks. That’s the good news.
The bad news, alas, is that the offense will be missing key components to the rushing attack. Running back David Montgomery and left guard Jonah Jackson are both out with injuries.
In addition, center Frank Ragnow is listed as doubtful with a calf injury. Ragnow did not practice at all this week. No Lions player listed as doubtful and didn’t practice has ever been active for a game under head coach Dan Campbell.
On defense, the Lions could have everyone available that isn’t on the injured reserve. Josh Paschal did miss practice on Saturday with a knee issue and is listed as questionable. DT Benito Jones (ankle) and LB Malcolm Rodriguez (ankle) are also questionable, as is right guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai (back).
