Bruce Irvin not expected to play vs. Packers

Don’t expect to see recent practice squad addition Bruce Irvin in the Detroit Lions lineup on Thursday. Head coach Dan Campbell was pretty clear in ruling out Irvin from being promoted for the Thanksgiving visit from the Green Bay Packers.

Irvin was added to the practice squad last week after a rough outing from the Lions pass rush. Detroit’s pressure was better in the game against the Chicago Bears and Justin Fields, but still could use more oomph and finishing ability. But Irvin hasn’t yet shown Campbell or the Lions coaches that he can help.
