The primetime matchup will be broadcasted on Sunday Night Football on NBC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">If this were a fully healthy Lions team facing off against a sub-.500 Chiefs team, oddsmakers (which currently have Kansas City as a slight favorite) might have favored Detroit. But with so many injured players, especially on the defensive side of the ball, the Lions might have a tough time keeping up with last year&#8217;s AFC champions.<\/p>\n<p>The Lions have already ruled out\u00a0offensive tackle Taylor Decker\u00a0and\u00a0defensive tackle Alim McNeill, looking to make his season debut, from tonight&#8217;s game. Additionally, the Lions will be without starting cornerbacks D.J. Reed and Terrion Arnold, with starting safeties Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch\u00a0currently listed as questionable\u00a0but not listed as out.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll have live injury updates from tonight&#8217;s prime time game right here.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_mt\">Lions inactives for Sunday Night Football vs Chiefs<\/h2>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Lions have listed\u00a0seven players as inactive\u00a0for their upcoming game against the Chiefs.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul\">\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">CB Terrion Arnold.<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">LB Zach Cunningham.<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">OT Taylor Decker.<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">CB Avonte Maddox.<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">S Loren Strickland.<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">RB Sione Vaki.<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">DL Mekhi Wingo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Crucially, the Lions have not listed safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph on the list, which means they are likely playing.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_mt\">Lions injury report<\/h2>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><em>As of\u00a0Friday, Oct. 10.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul\">\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">CB Terrion Arnold &#8211; shoulder (out).<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">LB Zach Cunningham &#8211; hamstring (out).<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">T Taylor Decker &#8211; shoulder (out).<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">DB Avonte Maddox &#8211; hamstring (out).<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">OL Giovanni Manu &#8211; knee (out).<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">DL Alim McNeill &#8211; knee (out).<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">RB Sione Vaki &#8211; groin (out).<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">S Brian Branch &#8211; ankle (questionable).<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">S Kerby Joseph &#8211; knee (questionable).<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">WR Kalif Raymond &#8211; neck (questionable).<\/li>\n<li class=\"gnt_ar_b_ul_li\">WR Amon-Ra St. Brown &#8211; wrist (no status listed).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>freep.com wants to ensure the best experience for all of our readers, so we built our site to take advantage of the latest technology, making it faster and easier to use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35286,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
