Marvin Jones (quad) is listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Bears.
Jones took last week off, but he is due back against Chicago.
Beat writers have been increasingly confident about his status.
Jones is a fringe WR3, and probably best viewed as a WR4 considering his lack of production the past two months.

Eric Ebron (knee) is questionable for Week 14 against the Bears.
He was a limited participant at practice this week and should be ready to roll Sunday against Chicago.
Ebron will be a TE1/2 in that matchup.

Theo Riddick (wrist) is questionable for Week 14 against the Bears.
Riddick put in two limited practices this week, which has basically been the norm for him this year.
His status for Week 14 has never been in doubt.
Riddick will be a borderline RB2 at home against Chicago.

Lions DE Armonty Bryant was not fined for roughing the passer against Drew Brees and the Saints last Sunday.

Travis Swanson OUT for Lions. DeAndre Levy, Theo Riddick, Ezekiel Ansah among the questionable.

TAKE THE LIONS -- AND THE POINTS.
These two teams have gone in dramatically different directions since the Bears won the first matchup at home in Week 4.
Both our Bears and Lions reporters, as well as ESPN's FPI, expect a Lions rout in Detroit.

LIONS' PASS DEFENSE FLIPPED THE SWITCH.
Per ESPN Stats & Info, the Lions' defense has allowed a 52.7 Total QBR since Week 5, second-lowest in the NFL to the Giants (49.1).
Detroit had allowed the highest QBR during the first four weeks of the season, at 82.2.
