Patricia said earlier this week that star wide receiver Kenny Golladay is "week-to-week" due to a hip injury. If he is unable to play, how will his absence affect Stafford and the Lions passing attack, and who is being looked at to step up in his place?
TP: That's a huge loss for the offense if he's not able to go. He missed the first couple games of the season with an injury as well, and the Lions certainly missed him. When he was able to make his debut, it was big. If he's out Sunday, that's definitely a disadvantage.
But, they do have some other explosive players. They've still got Marvin Jones, Jr., who will likely step up and take a big part of Kenny's workload if he can't go. Another guy to keep an eye on is Marvin Hall, who was known as the Lions deep-catch guy last year when he averaged 37.3 yards per catch [261 yards on seven catches], just because every catch he had was a deep pass. He's worked on more of those intermediate routes this year, so he could see a bigger role.
Another time to keep an eye on is former Wisconsin wide receiver Quintez Cephus. The rookie has been a healthy scratch these last few games, but I'd expect him to be active if Kenny is not out there.
