The 8-3 Detroit Lions will try to bounce back from a difficult Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers this coming Sunday when they travel to play the New Orleans Saints. The Lions will take a big step toward winning the NFC North with a victory, especially since they haven’t won their division since the 1993 campaign. The Lions just released their first Week 13 Injury report a short while ago.
As you can see below, the Detroit Lions are facing some problems ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the Saints. This is the first injury report of the week. Of course, LB Alex Anzalone is included in the report. Dan Campbell stated that Anzalone will be out for a while due to a hand injury he sustained on Thanksgiving Day against the Packers. Fortunately, LG Jonah Jackson resumed practice.
The Packers were favored to defeat the Lions and improve to 9-2 on the season, but Jordan Love and company had other ideas as they triumphed 29–22 on the road. That being said, one thing head coach Dan Campbell’s Lions have excelled at is winning back from setbacks. The Lions will firmly establish themselves in both the NFC North and NFC Playoff standings if they defeat the Saints.
Losses are going to happen in the NFL, but the good teams find a way to right the ship a quickly as possible, and that is exactly what the Lions need to do this coming Sunday. Look for Dan Campbell to have his team ready to roll when they take on the Saints.
