It?s likely that Corey Robinson will start for Reiff.

Center Travis Swanson (concussion), who was designated as doubtful on Friday, is also out. Graham Glasgow will start in his place for the fourth straight game.

Theo Riddick, who missed the last three games with a wrist injury, was placed on injured reserve on Saturday.

Rookie wide receiver Jace Billingsley, who was promoted from the practice squad on Saturday, is not active.
He has not played a regular season snap in the NFL.

Other Lions? inactives: quarterback Jake Rudock, defensive tackle Antoine Williams, cornerback Alex Carter and fullback Michael Burton,

Packers inactives: Wide receiver Randall Cobb, running back James Starks, cornerback Josh Hawkins, tackle Kyle Murphy, OL JC Tretter, linebacker Jayrone Elliott and quarterback Joe Callahan.

CAN STAFFORD LEAD LIONS OVER PACK?
Matthew Stafford lost his first six games against Green Bay. However, he's been able to limit his turnovers and improve his touchdown numbers in his last six games, which has led to three wins (3-9 career record) against the Packers.

The Lions haven't added a banner to this collection in 23 years. If Detroit beats Green Bay tonight, the franchise will claim their first ever NFC North title.
Last time the Lions won the division, it was the NFC Central.

Darius Slay is playing for the Lions tonight on his birthday. He's going to be key for Detroit.
