Tuesday, along with the positive news that came back

Playoff bye plans

Coach Campbell stated that because of the opponent’s unpredictability, one of the plans is to take a pause and recharge. On January 18 or 19, the Divisional Playoff game will be played against the team with the lowest remaining seed, either the Rams, Vikings, Commanders, or Packers.

“I’ve been a part of it as a player and a coach,” he stated. You begin legwork on another opponent because you don’t sure who you’re playing against, only to discover it’s not them.

“I don’t want to harm the coaches in that way. This weekend, I want to give them three days off so they can rest, recharge, and get some sleep. The idea of working against someone you might not even play against bothers me.


Injury updates

Three players left because of injuries after the Lions defeated the Vikings 31-9 in the Week 18 finale, which raised some concerns. For two of the three, Campbell added, the news was positive.

While offensive center Kevin Zeitler (hamstring) and rookie cornerback Terrion Arnold (foot) are improving, defensive end Pat O’Connor (calf) is not.

He also mentioned that rookie cornerback Ennis Rakestraw is making well in his recuperation.

For linebacker Derrick Barnes (knee) and cornerback Carlton Davis (jaw), the news is not favorable. Regardless of how far the Lions advance, both are anticipated to miss the rest of the playoffs.
