INACTIVES: Lions VS Commanders
Despite suffering an ankle injury in last week’s loss to the Eagles, running back D’Andre Swift is active.
Swift missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, but returned Friday as a limited participant. Swift rushed 15 times for 144 yards and a touchdown, and caught three passes for 31 yards.
He had 144 rushing yards in Week 1.
Evan Brown will start at center and Logan Stenberg at guard. Drew Forbes, Kayode Awosika or Dan Skipper, who was promoted from the practice squad on Saturday, are the Lions’ other guard options.
Ifeatu Melifonwu (hamstring) is inactive again. He practiced in limited fashion this week, so he’s trending in the right direction, but still isn’t ready to play.
After missing a month with a hamstring injury, the Lions get Julian Okwara back.
Inactivity last week. Detroit gets an extra rusher off the edge to get after Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz.
