- It sounds like Darren Keyton suffered a season-ending type of knee injury on Thursday night:
Jim Caldwell said he thinks Darren Keyton's knee injury is "pretty significant" and "he'll be out for a while." #Lions

- On a positive note, Calvin Johnson and Rashean Mathis were in fact given the night off, so there are no injuries to report with either of them.
- The Lions sent out Matthew Stafford, Stephen Tulloch and Don Muhlbach for the coin toss, according to Paula Pasche.
- The official attendance for Thursday's game was 53,395.
- I really hope this nickname catches on:
.@Nate13Burleson just dubbed Golden Tate the "SOFA" (steal of free agency).

- I have to say, I'm not really a fan of how this looks:

- I know they want to get rid of the jerseys, but who is going to actually buy these things?
The #Lions are still selling Ndamukong Suh jerseys at Ford Field for $60-100 a pop. http://t.co/72oIOByiWM pic.twitter.com/ktZ90Zor3I

- Finally, your quote of the night:
Larry Warford on the first-team offense: "That shit was sweet." Succinct.
