Week 1 NFL Injury Report: Detroit Lions At Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Week 1 injury report is out for Sunday's matchup between the Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Five players are on the injury report for the Lions, three of whom are out. Only three players are on the injury report for the Buccaneers, and only one is out.

Here is the full injury report:

Detroit Lions

RB Maurice Morris (Hand) - Probable

OT Jason Fox (Foot) - Out

DT Nick Fairley (Foot) - Out

DT Andre Fluellen (Hand) - Probable

CB Alphonso Smith (Foot) - Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

OG/C Ted Larsen (Ankle) - Probable

LB Dekoda Watson (Hamstring) - Probable

CB Myron Lewis (Ankle) - Out

There are no real surprises for the Lions. Although Smith did return to practice, I don't think anybody was expecting him to be ready this week. The same goes for Fox and Fairley, who have yet to practice as they also recover from foot injuries. Morris and Fluellen are both recovering from hand injuries, and they made enough progress to play on Sunday.

I don't see any reason to play Flu

unless SLH is not being effective enough and Suh and/or C Will are getting gassed. I wouldn’t want to risk that injury IMO.

While MoMo is a more valuable player to risk injury, I think we may need him but should test out Harrison first to see how he does…

If their starting LG doesn't play

And they lose, I would expect them to cop out to that, considering it would be a huge mismatch in favor of CWill.

We were complaining about a blown interference call

anhd we recieved a letter from the NFL saying “sorry”.

We are going to beat you all today.

oh they will complain

if they loss they will say well the ref miss a call there and oh this guy got injured on this play and did not return until that play. the true respectable buc fans would sat good win. win or loss let hope we can see them in the playoffs.

Yeah you're right

Only Bucs fans would do that. Not like we don’t do it too. Oh, and every other sports fan base ever.

forgot to say

when i mean like miss a call not like calvin should of been a catch or for the buc winslow not being a passing interference but something like if the ref said there was no pass interference in the 2nd quarter and they have to punt the ball now something like that.

by darth liam5 on Sep 10, 2011 8:08 AM EDT reply actions  

in their defense

We would do the same.

I wish we could play the bucs at home

for this reason: we beat them last year that their house, with our third string qb and still won. I want to show them how much better we are than them, and we play a ton better at home.

So much better....

If you all are for real, than you should except the Road Game Challege. No excuses just football. I am tired of hearing about the “blown call” against you all last year.

Yeah, you drafted the best DT in that class, but why didn’t you guys stick to drafting WR’s?

As great as Megatron is/will be, you all are still 1 out 6 on drafting WR’s.

Hope there is a good clean game, no injuries, no too sloppy, and may the best team win.

???

Do you think reminding us that our former president’s success rate in drafting WR’s is supposed to get under our skin or something? The shit really just comes across as pathetic.

But here’s a question I have for you regarding something that’s happening now as opposed to years ago: how come your weak-ass fan base can’t sell out your stadium? Don’t you feel like kind of an ass knowing that even though you’re supposedly a promising up and coming team, you’re the only team on opening weekend to not be able to sell out your stadium? Are you over here talking shit because you’re mad that the game is blacked out in Tampa Bay? Is that the real reason for your hostility?
