On the Detroit Lions’ final injury report of the week in the lead up to their Christmas Day bout with the Minnesota Vikings, the team did not even list starting center Graham Glasgow with an injury designation.

The Detroit Lions are not in a good place right now.

Minnesota’s defense forced six turnovers from a Detroit Lions’ offense that […]
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff was in the giving spirit on Christmas. After throwing back-to-back interceptions in the third quarter, the Lions went from having a tied game against the Minnesota Vikings to being down two field goals against undrafted rookie quarterback Max Brosmer.
