The Detroit Lions have huge aspirations that go far beyond their Sunday night showdown with the Minnesota Vikings for the top seed in the NFC, the NFC North title and a bye in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

Detroit Lions are planning to open DB Ifeatu Melifonwu's 21-day practice window this week, but it remains to be seen if he can play vs. the Bears.

After being feared to have been lost for the season this week, David Montgomery might actually be able to make a return for the Detroit Lions. On Friday, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network shared a positive update on Montgomery’s status from Dan Campbell.
