Detroit Lions at New Orleans Saints: Wild Card Inactives

Zac Snyder — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 23:37:03 +0000

We heard a lot about the Lions being as healthy this week as they’ve been all year and that is reflected in the game day inactives. Chris Harris was the only Lion named on the injury report that was designated anything worse than “probable”. Not surprisingly, he will not be active tonight.

Joining Harris on the inactive list are Doug Hogue, Drew Stanton, Brandon McDonald, Joique Bell, Leonard Davis and Andre Fluellen.

On the Saints side, Lance Moore, Jonathan Casillas, John Gilmore, Eric Olsen, Turk McBride, Leigh Torrence and Tory Humphrey have been deactivated and will not play.

The Lions were much stronger in the third quarter, outscoring the Saints 10-0 to cut the deficit to 24-17, but couldn’t complete the comeback thanks in large part to costly penalties (11 penalties for 107 yards compared to 3 for 30 by the Saints).
