Detroit Lions' Week 12 Inactive List
The Detroit Lions' offense will enter Week 12 with an elevated amount of confidence, with its play having steadily improved over the past three weeks.
It was announced Thursday morning that Josh Reynolds will suit up against the Buffalo Bills at Ford Field.
The Bills still have a top duo at linebacker that quarterback Jared Goff and Detroit's offense must contend with.
“They do a lot of stuff defensively. They do damn near everything well defensively. They obviously rush the passer well, Von (Miller), and a handful of those guys over there, and they’re just extremely sound," said Goff. "I think it’s got to be the top linebacker duo in the league, if (Tremaine) Edmunds is able to play, and (Matt) Milano. And, on the back-end, they’re sharp, as well. They’re really sound and do a good job, and pressure when they need to and create chaos.”
With Detroit being down multiple guards, it will be interesting to see how effective the running game is this week.
Among the biggest storylines impacting the offense has been the limited number of reps and carries D'Andre Swift has seen the past few weeks.
"I think he knows, and we keep telling him this, but he knows that he’s got game-breaking ability whenever he touches the ball, whether that’s one time a game or hopefully a lot more than that, 10 to 20 times a game," Goff said, when asked earlier this week about keeping Swift healthy and engaged. "But, anytime he touches the ball, he can take it to the house, and he knows that, and we know that. So, getting him as involved as we can always helps us, and then making sure he stays in it.”
