Detroit Lions - Team Notes

Lions HC Jim Caldwell said Haloti Ngata is "coming" when asked about progress from shoulder injury. Will he play Sunday? "Check the report."

Travis Swanson, Glover Quin, Rafael Bush are Lions captains this week.

DeAndre Levy and Darius Slay only players out for the Lions on Friday.
Healthiest the team has been since Week 1. That could bode well for Detroit on Sunday against the Texans.
Figure to see a lot of Johnson Bademosi at corner and Josh Bynes at linebacker if they are out:

Former player calls Jim Bob Cooter’s offense ‘the most diverse’ he’s seen.

One former Lions player to Trey Wingo on OC Jim Bob Cooter: " His offense is the most diverse I've ever been in & best at attacking a defense".

Player who's not being talked about enough: Matthew Stafford. Lions QB has been outstanding. Evolution goes back to last year & OC change.

Justin Forsett told me the only QB he's ever played with that is in charge of so many different thing in game as Stafford. Peyton Manning.

SPREAD PICKS FOR NFL WEEK 8.
Analyst Eric Eager makes spread picks for the remaining 12 NFL Week 8 games.
PFFF

Prediction: Texans win by 2.
The Texans were nothing short of awful offensively Monday night against the Broncos, with Brock Osweiler posting the worst grade among all quarterbacks on the week?amassing just 3.2 yards per attempt in the process. They return home, where they?re undefeated, to face a Lions team that is on something of a roll. Despite being 4-3, the Lions? defense may have a case for being as bad as the Texans? offense, however, making the matchup on that side of the ball a likely wash. Thus, whoever wins between the Lions? offense, led by the fifth-highest graded quarterback in the league in Matthew Stafford, and the Texans? defense, led by the highest-graded cornerback in the league in A.J. Bouye, will likely taste victory in this one.
