that starting right guard T.J. Lang has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a neck injury against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9. Lang played in just six games this season Cheap Customized Detroit Lions Jerseys , but dealt with a concussion, back and hip injury in this year alone. Last year, Lang dealt with a separate concussion, a back and a foot injury that caused him to collectively miss three games.It’s been a rough go for Lang, who signed a three-year, $28.5 million deal with Detroit after the Lions aggressively pursued him in the 2017 offseason. While his play has been at a level the Lions expected, the injuries have made him a tough guy to rely upon.Going forward, you have to wonder if Lang may have played his final game as a Detroit Lions. His cap hit next year is $11.7 million and only $2.7 of that is dead money. That means Detroit would save $9 million by cutting Lang. Of course, Lang could always take a paycut, or www.thelionsfootballauthentic.com , considering the laundry list of injuries, retirement could be in the cards for the 31-year-old offensive lineman. To take Lang’s spot on the roster, the Lions have promoted cornerback Mike Ford from the practice squad. After cutting Lenzy Pipkins’ earlier in the week, the Lions still have one more roster spot open. Detroit also announced on Wednesday that safety David Jones will take Ford’s spot on the practice squad. Jones spent the entire 2017 season on the Patriots’ practice squad as an undrafted rookie.Thursday open thread: Make your 2018 Super Bowl predictions! It’s Thursday and that means the NFL officially returns tonight.

Want a chance to look like the smartest person in the room? Time to make your 2018 NFL predictions. Today’s Question of the Day is:Who will play in Super Bowl LIII and who will win?My answer: It’s incredibly boring and I’m sure it’s going to be one of the more popular picks among analysts, but give me Patriots over Vikings.I know including the Vikings is going to make some Detroit Lions fans sick, but that team is just stacked. The biggest concern is their offensive line, but it was the same scenario last year Detroit Lions T-Shirt , and they managed to be perfectly fine on offense despite having a guy like Riley Reiff protecting the blindside. Elsewhere, the Vikings are just loaded with talent. They’ve got an impressive backfield with tons of potential, one of the best receiving duos in the league, and just try to find a weakness on their defensive roster. You can’t.Nothing fancy about my pick for the Patriots. The AFC is soft yet again, and New England has breezed their way through it in three of the past four years. The Jaguars are probably the only real team that could give them trouble, but even after last year’s playoff run, I just can’t get behind a team led by Blake Bortles. Your turn.Tweets from https://twitter.com/PrideOfDetroit/lists/lions-coverage
