The Detroit Lions (3-7-1) have announced their inactives ahead of their Week 13 matchup with the Chicago Bears (5-6) on Thanksgiving day at Ford Field.
Let’s take a closer look at the seven inactives for each team:
Lions Week 13 inactives
QB Matthew Stafford (back, hip)
IOL Beau Benzschawel
OG Oday Aboushi
NT Damon Harrison (knee)
CB Rashaan Melvin (ribs)
CB Michael Jackson
RET. Jamal Agnew (ankle)
Stafford, Melvin, and Agnew were ruled out on Wednesday and will be replaced in the starting lineup by Jeff Driskel at quarterback, Amani Oruwariye at outside corner, Ty Johnson on kick returns and Danny Amendola on punt returns.
Marvin Hall (foot) was also originally ruled out on Wednesday but was later placed on injured reserve with a foot injury in order to make room for Chris Lacy on the active roster.
Harrison is the surprise inactive today. After dealing with a groin issue for over a month now, a knee and calf injury popped up this week, with the knee being listed as the problem on Friday. On a short week, he was apparently not able to heal up enough.
Benzschawel, Aboushi, and Jackson are back on the inactives list after being on the active roster last week due to injuries.
Bears Week 13 inactives
WR Taylor Gabriel (concussion)
TE Ben Braunecker (concussion)
TE Adam Shaheen (foot)
RT Bobby Massie (ankle)
DL Abdullah Anderson
LB Danny Trevathan (elbow)
S Sherrick McManis (groin)
Gabriel, Braunecker, Shaheen, Massie, and Trevathan were slated for starting roles and will nee dot be replaced.
