DETROIT — The Detroit Lions have released their list of inactive players ahead of their Week 13 Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Green Bay Packers at Ford Field. Both teams entered the day with significant injury questions, and the final pregame designations have now been confirmed.
The biggest development for Detroit is the availability of rookie cornerback Terrion Arnold, who has officially cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol. Arnold is eligible to play, though his workload remains uncertain. The Lions have taken a conservative approach with injured players this season, making it likely that Amik Robertson and D.J. Reed will handle the starting outside duties, with Arnold contributing in select defensive packages.
Green Bay, meanwhile, will be without several key starters. Wide receiver Matthew Golden, linebacker Quay Walker, and cornerback Nate Hobbs—all previously listed as questionable—have been ruled out and will not suit up for today’s divisional contest. Their absences create notable gaps for a Packers team fighting to maintain momentum in the NFC playoff race.
For fans seeking additional context, Detroit made several roster moves earlier in the week and updated its depth chart accordingly. Extensive pregame coverage has also been provided, including scheme evaluations of the Packers’ offense and defense, strategic keys to victory in Erik’s Honolulu Blueprint, Jeremy’s On Paper analysis, statistical matchups from Al, bold predictions from Brandon, and a five-question preview with a Packers analyst. The POD staff has also submitted its official game-by-game predictions.
With two practice squad elevations for this game, the Lions enter today with 55 players on the active roster. As league rules permit only 48 players to dress on game day, Detroit was required to designate seven inactive players for the matchup.
Detroit’s inactive players are: WR Kalif Raymond (ankle), TE Brock Wright (neck), C Graham Glasgow (knee), S Kerby Joseph (knee), OL Miles Frazier (knee), DL Mekhi Wingo, and DL Tyler Lacy.
Green Bay’s inactives are: WR Savion Williams (foot), EDGE Lukas Van Ness (foot), DL Karl Brooks (ankle), WR Matthew Golden, LB Quay Walker, CB Nate Hobbs, and OL Donovan Jennings.
