Detroit Lions rookie defensive tackle Nick Fairley is going to make his debut on the big stage of ESPN's Monday Night Football. After being out since the start of August with a broken foot, Fairley fully practiced all last week and is set to make his debut on Monday night for the Lions. He is active for the game, and all indications are he will play.
The following players are not active for Monday's game between the Lions and Chicago Bears:
Detroit LionsQB Drew Stanton RB Jerome Harrison WR Rashied Davis OT Jason Fox LB Justin Durant SS Erik Coleman SS Amari Spievey |
Chicago Bears
QB Nathan Enderle RB Kahlil Bell WR Earl Bennett OT Gabe Carimi DE Corey Wootton DE Mario Addison DT Stephen Paea |
With Durant and Spievey out, Bobby Carpenter will step in as a starter at linebacker and John Wendling will start at safety. Durant was expected to play over the weekend, but a setback with his recovery from a concussion is going to keep him out of the lineup for at least one more game.
