ESPN Insider Adam Schefter is reporting Marvin Jones suffered a bone bruise but that his ACL and MCL are intact, which is good news for Detroit.
Schefter is reporting that Jones is "day-to-day." It's still a blow to the Lions if Jones misses any time considering the team traded away Golden Tate a little under two weeks ago. So Detroit has now gone from one of the top receiving trios in the league to Kenny Golladay, veteran TJ Jones and either recently-signed Bruce Ellington or undrafted free agent Brandon Powell as their top three/four receivers if Marvin Jones is out. That's a much less experienced crew for Matthew Stafford to roll with.

Matt Patricia on possible staff changes: "Not doing anything right now." Said he has "a lot of confidence" with everyone when it comes to play calling on offense, defense and special teams.

Matt Patricia on Matthew Stafford possible regression: Says they all have to do a better job. Said he believes there are things Stafford wishes he could do better and that the Lions can always do better.

The Lions have waived CB Lenzy Pipkins. Detroit has some injuries so need some roster space, between WR Marvin Jones, TE Michael Roberts and possibly P Sam Martin being banged up.
That's in addition to CB Darius Slay and RG T.J. Lang, neither of whom played Sunday against Chicago.

Sam Martin said his hospital visit was "precautionary" because he was spitting up blood. Said he was checked out and everything is fine. He said he'll be fine for Sunday against Carolina. He was blocked from the side on a play.

Pride Of Detroit Lions Blog PODcast reacts to Lions-Bears, puts coaches on notice. 72 minutes.
Things only seem to be getting worse and a sleepy PODcast crew breaks it down.

The Detroit Lions will not play another meaningful game in the 2018 season. Their 34-22 loss to the Chicago Bears put an end to any real hopes of even moderate success this year. Even if the Lions were to somehow win out with one of the toughest remaining schedules in the league, their ceiling is now just 10-6, which probably wouldn?t even be good enough for a trip to the postseason.

So this week, the PODcast crew digests what happened on Sunday, but then turns their focus ahead. As a fan, how do you enjoy the next two months of football with no stakes attached? Is it okay to just go out and enjoy a day at the cider mill or something? If you are committed to watching Lions football, how can you still enjoy the game with no expectations?

We tackle it all on this week?s episode:

This week on the PODcast:
Things get a little loopy as Jeremy, Ryan and Chris join together for a midnight taping.

The crew gets heated on the coaching, as the team has failed to show any sort of improvement, as promised.

If 9-7 isn?t good enough with this talent, what the hell is this season?

The offense is a mess, Matthew Stafford is regressing and it seems like the writing is on the wall for Jim Bob Cooter.

We point out some individual performances of note, including ?Snacks? eating again, Kerryon Johnson beasting on a hobbled leg and the horrible, horrible play of the secondary.

#AudibleDong

There?s meaningless football ahead, how does one enjoy it? Jeremy, Ryan and Chris all lay out different options for stakeless Sundays.

Mailbag distracts the pain by naming the best Disney/Pixar movies, hating on ?How I Met Your Mother? and snow cones, and eventually brings it back to Lions football, wondering what would have happened if the Lions had hired Matt Nagy over Matt Patricia.
