We're less than two hours away from the Detroit Lions facing off against the San Francisco 49ers for a chance to head to Super Bowl LVIII. This is going to be a huge game for both teams. Here's who both will have to do it without:

Lions

  • WR Kalif Raymond
  • OG Jonah Jackson
  • QB Hendon Hooker (Emergency quarterback)
  • CB Steven Gilmore
  • S Tracy Walker
  • DE Charles Harris
  • DL Brodric Martin

There you go Lions fans. You wanted James Houston to make his return to the field, he will do that on the biggest stage the Lions have been on since before Houston was born. Now, how much will we see him? That's going to be the big question for this one. History will tell you that there will be a snap count for sure. 

49ers

  • LB Oren Burks 
  • QB Brandon Allen
  • WR Willie Snead
  • LB Jalen Graham
  • T Matt Pryor
  • WR Ronnie Bell
  • CB Sam Womack
  • LB Curtis Robinson

Everyone that you might have been worried about will play in this game. Deebo Samuel, Dre Greenlaw and Arik Armstead will all play despite being on the injury report this week. Settle in for a fun one.
