The list of inactives for Sunday's game between the Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos doesn't include any real surprises. Running back Jahvid Best and defensive tackle Nick Fairley are the most notable players on the list for Detroit, but Best was already ruled out and Fairley was doubtful for Sunday's game.
Here's a look at the full list:
Detroit LionsQB Drew Stanton RB Jahvid Best WR Rashied Davis OT Jason Fox DT Nick Fairley CB Don Carey S Chris Harris |
Denver BroncosQB Brady Quinn RB Willis McGahee FB Quinn Johnson OT Tony Hills OG Manny Ramirez DE Derrick Harvey S Rafael Bush |
The most interesting thing about the inactives list for the Lions is that Stanton is on it. Considering Matthew Stafford is banged up, the thinking was Stanton might get to dress for the first time this season as extra insurance. As it turns out, Stanton once again is inactive, suggesting the Lions feel confident in Stafford's ability to play the entire game.
