Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff a 'game-day decision;' Andy Dalton to start for Bears

The Chicago Bears will not have their starting quarterback on Thanksgiving, the team announced Tuesday, but the Detroit Lions could have theirs.

Lions coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday that Jared Goff is recovering well from the strained oblique that kept him out of last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns and likely will play on Thanksgiving.

"I thought he was better today," Campbell said. "I mean, I think it’s leaning that way, to Goff. We’ll see."

Goff injured his side early in a Week 10 tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers and sat out last week's game in Cleveland, when Tim Boyle made his first career start.
