The Lions' defense is well below strength this week, and they are especially hurt along the line and in the secondary. In the trenches, Da'Shawn Hand, Austin Bryant and John Penisini are all questionable, and if they are short there it could be very difficult to contain Aaron Jones. The back end is in dire straits as well, and missing their top two corners in Desmond Trufant and Jeff Okudah. This is a very bad sign as they are facing Aaron Rodgers this week, and his receiving corps is only getting stronger as Allen Lazard works himself back alongside Davante Adams, Marquez Valdez-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown.
