There was expected to be some growing pains here and there with Detroit having three new starters along the interior of the offensive line, including two young guards making their first and second starts.

There were several missed assignments upfront in the pass and run game in the Lions' 27-13 loss in Green Bay Week 1. The Packers sacked quarterback Jared Goff four times and hit him nine times total, and Detroit averaged just 2.1 yards per carry on the ground as Green Bay's defensive front played on Detroit's side of the line of the scrimmage most of the contest.

Lions offensive coordinator John Morton said Thursday the issues Detroit had upfront with communication and missed assignments have been addressed and fixed this week.
