Lions Week 17 inactive players vs. the Seahawks include QB Jared Goff

After being listed as doubtful to play in Detroit’s Week 17 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, the Lions officially ruled out quarterback Jared Goff for Sunday’s game. Goff is one of the Lions’ seven inactive players for the late-afternoon kickoff.

Goff will miss his second straight game, this time with a knee injury. He was out for Week 16 while on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Tim Boyle will start in his place.
