Here’s an updated overview of the Lions’ injured players and when they are eligible to return. Note: bolded players are currently eligible.

One of many awesome things about the Detroit Lions’ 5-1 start to the season is that we get to see just how passionate and excited this hungry fanbase is right now. We’ve seen it for years and years at Ford Field, as the fans kept coming even through the lean years.

It’s going to feel like a vintage NFC Central matchup on Sunday afternoon.
