Green Bay visits Detroit on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. Eastern on FOX. The Packers are 4–2; the Lions are 3–2.
Reported facts: the availability picture
Green Bay ruled linebacker Zaire Franklin out with a shin injury. Guard Aaron Banks, cornerback Benjamin St-Juste, receiver Bo Melton and defensive tackle Jordon Riley were listed questionable. Jordan Love practiced fully Thursday and Friday and has no game designation.
Detroit listed safety Brian Branch and center Cade Mays questionable after both practiced fully. Cornerback Rock Ya-Sin has no game designation.
ISR analysis: a big total still requires ordinary-down success
The displayed total directs attention toward scoring, but the most useful early information is whether either offense repeatedly reaches manageable second and third downs. Explosive plays matter differently when they are supported by ordinary-down efficiency.
Franklin’s absence can change Green Bay’s fits and communication against Detroit’s run and play-action structure. Branch’s status affects how Detroit distributes coverage help against Love’s receivers.
Factors to watch
- Green Bay’s linebacker assignments without Franklin.
- Branch’s final status and Detroit’s coverage structure.
- Early-down efficiency before explosive plays arrive.
- Red-zone possessions converted into touchdowns.
