The Detroit Lions just delivered the kind of news every fan wanted heading into Thanksgiving. In a move that instantly changes the tone of their matchup against Green Bay, Detroit has activated one of their star defensive ends from injured reserve — a massive boost for a defense that’s been fighting through injuries and depth concerns in recent weeks.
This return couldn’t come at a better time. With the Packers heating up offensively and Jordan Love finding his rhythm, the Lions desperately needed more firepower on the edge. Now, they’re getting exactly that: a proven game-wrecker who brings speed, strength, and relentless pursuit off the line. His presence alone forces offensive coordinators to adjust, shifts blocking schemes, and opens opportunities for the rest of Detroit’s front seven.
The timing is perfect — high stakes, national stage, division implications, and playoff pressure. Detroit didn’t just get a player back… they got momentum back.
Thanksgiving just got a whole lot louder in Detroit.
