Injuries have hit the Lions worse than most teams around the NFL. It’s gotten so bad that it’s becoming hard just to find enough bodies for practice.
“I had initially scheduled practice for (today), but I think we’re going to have an hour-and-a-half walkthrough instead, because I don’t think we are going to be in the position where we can have enough bodies on the practice field to actually do a practice,” Lions coach Jim Schwartz said.
The Lions were down six starters in their loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. In all, the Lions have placed five players on injured reserve and had 12 players that missed or were limited in practice last week.
Defensive end Copeland Bryan (sprained MCL) and Daunte Culpepper (hamstring) were added to the list of injured Lions this weekend in Green Bay. The most serious injuries continue to be those to rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford (knee) and receiver Calvin Johnson (knee), but Schwartz said there was a possibility they could both play against the St. Louis Rams after the bye week.
