The Detroit Lions are going prime time once again this Saturday when they head to Jerry World to take on the Cowboys. This is big game for sure. The top seed in the NFC is still possible and the Lions need to beat the Cowboys to continue to make it possible. Here's their final injury report of the week:
- C.J. Gardner-Johnson-OUT
- James Houston: OUT
- Brock Wright: OUT

As for the Cowboys, here's what their designations are this week:
- Rico Dowdle: OUT
- Jonathan Hankins: OUT
- Tyron Smith: Questionable
