Jared Goff was a full participant at Thursday’s practice, a huge upgrade after being listed as a limited participant just the day before. This means the Lions quarterback, who has been dealing with a chest injury, looks totally good to go for Sunday’s massive matchup against the Patriots. You gotta love seeing a quick bounce back like that, right?
Lions’ Offense Gets a Green Light, Key Defensive Pieces Still Hurting
Goff’s upgrade is massive, especially for an offense that needs all its firepower. It’s a great sign that he’s shaking off that chest issue and ready to lead the charge. While Goff is back, there are still some key guys dealing with stuff. Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was limited for the second day straight with a rib injury, which is a bit of a worry. And running back Sione Vaki remained completely out of practice because of an ankle issue. It’s a mixed bag of news, for sure.
Other Injury Updates Before the Munich Showdown
On the brighter side, safety Brian Branch also moved up to full participation on Thursday after dealing with a hip injury. That’s a huge boost for the secondary! Running back Jacob Saylors (neck, hamstring) and defensive end DJ Wonnum (concussion) both remained full participants, which is exactly what you want to hear. Unfortunately, the Lions have already ruled out safety Kerby Joseph (knee), center Cade Mays (ankle), and cornerback D.J. Reed (hip) for the game. The team is set to issue their final injury report tomorrow, and you know everyone’s gonna be glued to it before they head across the pond.
The Lions are taking on the Patriots in Munich this Sunday, and while there are still some lingering injury concerns, getting Goff back to full strength is the biggest news of all. This is going to be a wild game, and with Goff ready to sling it, anything can happen!
