The Detroit Lions have declared their inactives ahead of their Week 8 game against the Tennessee Titans.
The Detroit Lions have declared their inactives ahead of the Week 8 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. With Jameson Williams suspended earlier in the week and Josh Paschal ruled out on Friday, there weren’t many surprises on the Lions inactive list this week.
The Lions entered the week with 52 players on their roster, but their only move was to elevate EDGE Al-Quadin Muhammad and tight end Shane Zylstra from the practice squad to the game-day roster.
Because the Lions have eight offensive linemen active for Sunday’s game, they are eligible to expand their game-day roster from 47 to 48 players. Therefore, with 54 players on the game-day roster and 48 eligible to play, the Lions need to declare just six players inactive for today’s matchup.
Lions inactives:
- WR Jameson Williams — serving the first of a two-game suspension
- EDGE Josh Paschal — illness, Ruled OUT
- TE Parker Hesse
- RT Colby Sorsdal
- LT Giovanni Manu
- S Loren Strickland
Titans inactives:
- QB Will Levis (shoulder)
- RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) — Downgraded to OUT on Saturday
- TE David Martin-Robinson
- TE Thomas Odukoya
- OT Nicholas Petit-Frere
- LB Jerome Baker (rest) — Acquired via trade this week
- CB L’Jarius Sneed (quad) — Ruled OUT Friday
