Aside from the huge question marks now surrounding the Lions season, there’s some pretty big questions injury wise heading into a decisive match-up with the New York Giants.
According to reports, Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson is a game-time decision with an injured knee while tight end Brandon Pettigrew is out with an ankle injury.
On the defensive side of the ball the secondary which also was a big question mark heading into this week remains just that with Darius Slay (knee) doubtful and Chris Houston (toe) and Rashean Mathis (illness) questionable.
On the other side of things though the Giants also have their fair share of injuries.
WR Victor Cruz is out – probably for the rest of the season – as he deals with a knee issue and concussion while Peyton Hillis (concussion), Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder) and Cooper Taylor (hamstring) also will not be able to go this week.
In the meantime though here’s the entire list of injuries and inactives for this week:
