The NFL has expanded to Saturday this week, and it means big stakes for the NFC playoff race—something that should have the attention of all Detroit Lions fans. Saturday kicks off with a late afternoon matchup (5 p.m. ET) between the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles. While there is not much at stake for the Commanders, the Eagles can clinch the NFC East with a win. While that is mostly a formality at this point—the Cowboys currently have less than a 1% chance to catch them—it also keeps them in a solid place when it comes to seeding. The Eagles currently hold the three seed at 9-5, but could easily jump to the two seed if the Packers take the NFC North lead later in the day. That game is not likely to matter to Lions fans, unless Detroit somehow manages to win the division on their own. However, the nightcap is a game all Lions fans should be intensely watching. A Packers win and the Lions’ playoff odds jump to 32%. A Bears win and the Lions’ playoff odds drop to 22%. Everything at stake—plus playoff scenarios for each outcome—are explained thoroughly here. But the long and short of it is this: if the Bears lose, the Lions suddenly have control of their own playoff destiny again: a win-out equals the postseason. So enjoy both games and you can chat about them as they happen in the comment section at the bottom of this page. Here’s how to watch both games, as well.

The Detroit Lions have finally placed safety Kerby Joseph on injured reserve, effectively ending the All-Pro defender’s season. Joseph has been dealing with a knee injury for essentially the entire season, but there was some brief hope he’d be able to return to the field. After suffering a setback during a recent practice, Joseph has been sidelined, and Detroit finally decided to end his season after he had missed the past eight games. Technically, Joseph would be eligible to return to the field if Detroit advances to the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs, but that seems unlikely. Joseph’s season ends with 18 tackles in six games and three interceptions. Additionally, the Lions have made several offensive moves to address current injuries. Notably, they have activated guard Christian Mahogany, who has been on injured reserve for six weeks after suffering a leg fracture against the Vikings. It’s quite possible he’ll return to his starting position at left guard, although coach Dan Campbell offered some caution on Friday. “Yesterday, I thought he looked pretty good. Wasn’t perfect, but I thought he looked pretty good,” Campbell said. “And some of it’s going to be, I know he’s a little sore today, and how he feels in today’s practice. That’s what a lot of it’s going to come down to.” The Lions have also elevated offensive lineman Kingsley Eguakun from the practice squad. That could be a bad sign for the availability of starting center Graham Glasgow. He’s been dealing with a knee injury that caused him to miss two practices this week and landed him with a questionable designation. The Lions now have several options at center, including Eguakun, Trystan Colon (who is dealing with a wrist injury of his own), and Michael Niese. Campbell said the team has been exploring all options in practice this week. “We’ve obviously worked Colon because he’s been there. I know he’s got the wrist, but he was out there working with it yesterday,” Campbell said. “Just trying to get Graham off his feet. But I mean, we’ve worked Niese, we’ve worked Kingsley. We’ve kind of just hit all around, and we’re rolling the guards, too. So, it’s really been a little bit of a revolving door trying to get a number of guys ready because there’s a lot of flex going into this game right now.” Lastly, the Lions also elevated tight end Giovanni Ricci from the practice squad for the second straight week as the Lions continue to be short-handed at tight end in the wake of injuries to Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright. TL;DR: S Kerby Joseph was placed on IR G Christian Mahogany was activated to the 53-man roster G/C Kingsley Eguakun was elevated from the practice squad TE Giovanni Ricci was elevated from the practice squad

Of course top talent will not come as much and shift elsewhere. I looked up Myles education and guy could use some more education on free markets and the economy. Guy is really making decisions for the business community saying: take your business and leave. 20 years is an insane amount of time but sure say what you will Myles and keep not employing a full staff of Caymanaians and rather go for low wage labor to line your pockets.
