DETROIT – The Detroit Lions named four players on the final injury report before of their week-13 game against the 4-7 Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving at Ford Field.
Detroit and Chicago faced off 19 times on Thanksgiving, with the Lions trailing their NFC North rivals 11-8 all-time.
The Lions faced the Bears on Thanksgiving in 2021, 2019, and 2018, and lost all three games, adding to their Turkey Day losing run stretching back to 2017.
They are now on a seven-game losing streak on the festive holiday, and their last win was in 2016.
They last beat the Bears, who are on a five-game losing streak entering Thursday’s game, in 2014.
Since the Lions will be without their best cornerback, Thursday’s game may be a shootout thanks to their plenty of weapons, which include former Lions running back D’Andre Swift, tight end Cole Kmet, and their three wideouts, DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and Rome Odunze.
The inactive players for this week have been revealed.
Two of the team’s best players enter the game with doubtful tags, while two others, offensive tackle Taylor Decker and cornerback Carlton Davis, will be missing.
The complete injury report from Friday’s practice is as follows:
Cornerback Carlton Davis — out (knee/thumb).
Offensive tackle Taylor Decker — out (knee).
Running back David Montgomery — questionable (shoulder).
Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown — questionable (knee).
