- ESPN Chicago's Michael C. Wright is reporting that Nick Fairley will make his Lions debut on Monday night. He also reports that Fairley has informed his friends and family who are coming to Detroit for the game that he will play in a "situational capacity."
I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Fairley does play in certain situations on Monday, but Fairley told Dave Birkett that no friends and family are planning on coming to Monday's game as of right now. That could change if Fairley finds out he will in fact play, but I highly doubt a decision has already been made, as the report from ESPN Chicago suggests.
