Ask POD: Lions Week 15 mailbag submissions

The Detroit Lions are 1-11-1 through 14 weeks of the 2021 season and are still feeling the impact of the COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 illnesses working their way through Allen Park.

As we head into Week 15, Jeremy Reisman and Erik Schlitt are here to answer your Lions-related questions. Need a roster update? How about questions about their next opponent, the Arizona Cardinals? Looking ahead to the offseason? The NFL Draft? All things Lions are on the table.

If you haven’t participated in a POD mailbag before, here’s how it works. Each week we ask our readers to submit questions about the Lions in the comment section of this article or by going onto Twitter and asking your question using the hashtag #AskPOD. Over the next few days, Reisman and Schlitt will comb through the questions, pick out the most relevant topics, and give our answers in a future article.
