Detroit Lions - Team Notes

As the Lions work to lock down the NFC North crown, they could be without their best cornerback.
Darius Slay will have an MRI on his re-injured hamstring today, but he sounds like a longshot to play this week against the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter) hears.
He could also miss more time beyond the Week 16 game.

Slay has been dealing with hamstring issues all year and this latest instance forced him to exit Sunday?s game in the second quarter.
If he is forced to miss this week, the Lions will have their hands full as they plan for the always dangerous Dez Bryant.
Without Slay, Nevin Lawson will likely be elevated to the top cornerback role.

Through Week 15, Slay is ranked as Pro Football Focus? No. 11 cornerback in the entire NFL. His 86.3 overall grade is roughly identical as his 2015 finish.
So far, Slay?s four-year, $50.2MM contract extension looks like a wise move by Detroit.
