Detroit Lions Week 18 injury designations: DeShon Elliott expected to play, Jeff Okudah questionable

The Detroit Lions (8-8) and Green Bay Packers (8-8) have declared their injury designation ahead of their Week 18 matchup on “Sunday Night Football” and both teams are relatively healthy. The good news for the Lions is that starting safety DeShon Elliott is expected to play in the regular season finale.

“I’m pretty confident,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said of Elliot's likelihood of playing on Sunday. “I’m pretty confident. I’m confident enough to where he would have to have a setback today, a major setback on day three for that not to happen. That’s how I feel right now.
