The Detroit Lions will take on the Seattle Seahawks less than two hours from now, but first we have to talk about who will not be playing in this game. Here's the inactives for both teams:

Lions Inactives

Brian Branch is a big loss. He was added to the injury report on Saturday night with an illness and was immediately marked as doubtful. We'll see what the Lions plan to do to make up for the loss. Look for a lot of Brandon Joseph and Loren Strickland in this one. 

Seahawks inactives 

Seahawks are missing some key defensive starters. Top edge rusher Boye Mafe and starting defensive tackle Leonard Williams will be out. Look for the Lions to utilize that run game.
