The Detroit Lions have a big game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a growing list of injured players.
The Lions are facing off against the Buccaneers at Ford Field in Detroit on Monday, Oct. 20, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. ET . Detroit is facing the NFC-best Buccaneers with a litany of injuries, especially in their secondary.
The Lions will be missing starting safety Kerby Joseph due to a knee injury aggravated during last week's 30-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Detroit will also be without its other starting safety Brian Branch, though he won't be missing the game because of injury, but due to a suspension from his involvement with a fight at the end of the Kansas City game.
