Lions at Titans Injury info: Game # 14 ( 2020 )

Detroit Lions Week 15 injury report: Matthew Stafford, Frank Ragnow, Kenny Golladay not practicing Wednesday

.........

Much like last season and in far too many other seasons, the Lions have an acute injury situation late in the season.

Detroit Lions Week 15 injury report: Matthew Stafford misses practice again on Thursday

.......

On top of the Lions medical situation, which includes Everson Griffen on the COVID-19 list, the Lions are facing a 9-4 Titans team that is tied in 1st Place with Indianapolis in the AFC South. With the AFC Wildcard Race being tight.

Trey Flowers eligible to return is a good thing , the Lions need more playmakers in the DL.

Stafford's bruises are adding up ... thumb, rib

Hopefully, Trey Flowers will be healthy enough to return and is activated. The Lions Defense in its present state appears overmatched.

Matthew Stafford gets Brett Favre treatment with injuries: If he says he can go, he can go

...........

If Frank Ragnow doesn't play in this game, I hope it's Joe Dahl who is the Lions Center. I rather Joe Jackson remain at LG, as it's difficult for a rookie ( even this late in the season ) to play a different position than what he's been playing in games.

..........

Of the Titans players currently on their 53 man roster, they have a relatively good injury situation for this point in time of an NFL season.

Lions' Stafford questionable, Ragnow out for game against Titans

........

My guess at this time is Matthew Stafford will start the game for the Lions. With a make swift Lions Offensive Line, it wouldn't be surprising if Stafford is unable to finish the game.

What's the point if he is not 100% fit ?
We already know that he is a tough guy, no need to overplay that role.
The Lions will need Stafford healthy either to play him or trade him, so shouldn't the call be made by the coach + medical staff + GM in the best interest of the organization ?
My questioning is not about him playing or not, but rather WHO is empowered to take that decision ?

Being that Matthew Stafford wasn't cleared to play in the 2nd half of the 2019 season with the back injury he suffered in Oakland in early November of that season, I'm confident Stafford was cleared to play today by the Lions Medical staff. Once that happened, Darrell Bevell gave Stafford the green light to start the game, if Stafford felt he was ready.

Apparently, the committee that's acting as a Lions GM didn't overrule Bevell. This, assuming they had the power to do so.

Apparently, it was determined by the Lions medical staff that Stafford isn't at greater significant risk by playing in this game.

If Matthew Stafford has a good performance in this game, his trade value should increase.
