Fairley still out; Warford not ruled out

[Microwahevo]

Detroit Lions DT Nick Fairley would need 'miracle' to play against Dallas; Larry Warford not ruled out | MLive.com

I figured Fairley would be back by now but it seems his progression wasn't as quick as many of us hoped.

Warford said he was day-to-day, but the Lions haven't said he is. Warford also said he can't really talk about injuries so he couldnt go into it further.

I have a gut feeling Warford comes back and plays Sunday. But my gut isn't big so that may only be a small gut feeling.

10 thumbs up on that quote, if it was actually possible to give that many but it's not.

Not sure how effective Fairley would actually be? He has not even practiced either, so might help clog up the middle, but for how many plays? Surely not in game shape though.

Warford is big hit if not able to go. Might need a great pass pro for the possible shutout needed to win Sunday.

My new strategy is to keep Swanson at center and move Dirty Dom to DT and let him go apeshit on Romo. He wont care as he knows he is done after this year and would probably like nothing better than to give the NFL a big F U on his way out.

I like your thought process on that, Old Lion...


some funny shit right there....

Travis Swanson continued to take first-team reps at right guard in place of the injured Larry Warford, and defensive end Darryl Tapp returned to practice Thursday, after the birth of his son.


Warford, the Lions' best offensive lineman, is not expected to play Sunday.

Of the two, I'd rather see Warford play. The O-line was brutal last week.

And the week before and the week before that...

I actually thought they looked better. Maybe because Dom was out.

Can we get 2 Swanson's to play C and RG? Reynolds just does not impress me at this point.
