The Detroit Lions have announced that nine players are inactive for tonight's game against the Bengals. They are as follows: RB Maurice Morris, RB Mikel Leshoure, WR Titus Young, TE Brandon Pettigrew, OT Jeff Backus, OT Jason Fox, DT Andre Fluellen, DT Nick Fairley and CB Alphonso Smith. All of these players were previously ruled out for tonight's game on Thursday.
In addition to the list of inactives, the Lions also announced their starting lineup for tonight's game. The two most notable things about the starting lineup are that Calvin Johnson and Gosder Cherilus are in it. There were question marks about if either would play, but both are set to start for the Lions tonight.
