NFL teams are not required to give injury reports or inactive lists during the preseason. Therefore, we can’t be certain which Detroit Lions players will suit up for the preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons on Friday night.
That said, during training camp, we have full access to entire practices, whereas we only get to see the first 15 minutes during the regular season. So we have a pretty good idea of each players’ participation level headed into Friday night’s opener.
With that in mind, I’ve created a very unofficial injury list for the Lions in Week 1 of the preseason, along with my best estimation on how likely it is that they’ll play against the Falcons.
