Jared Goff is officially active and expected to start when the Detroit Lions take the field on Thanksgiving. That’s the biggest takeaway from the gameday inactive player lists for both the Lions and the Chicago Bears.
Goff was officially questionable with his oblique injury. After warming up, the Lions decided the regular starting quarterback was good to go. Tim Boyle, who started for Goff last week, will be the backup. Third QB David Blough is one of the five inactives.
The Lions inactive players:
- QB David Blough
- OLB Trey Flowers
- OT Matt Nelson
- WR Trinity Benson
- RG Halapoulivaati Vaitai
All but Blough are injury-related.
As for the Bears…
- QB Justin Fields
- WR Allen Robinson
- DT Akiem Hicks
- DE Mario Edwards Jr.
- RB Damien Williams
- S Teez Tabor
- TE Jesper Horsted
