D'Andre Swift (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.​

This is a huge one to monitor the rest of the week, but the Lions seem concerned enough that they elevated ex-Chargers RB Justin Jackson from the practice squad earlier Wednesday. Swift is coming off the overall RB3 fantasy finish in Week 1. If he can't play against the Commanders, Jamaal Williams would be the favorite for carries for Detroit.
Jackson is no slouch either.

i thought he could be in the conversation for sure but if you take away the TDS (which you cant ) his day isnt nearly as spectacular . however he did have the TDS and he showed great route running and hands

After watching the Lions' opener, I feel comfortable saying two things. Washington better... 1) Be on-point with tackling. Swift, Hockenson, St. Brown and Williams are all combinations of powerful and shifty 2) Be in sync on the O-line. Detroit brought crazy heat on Jalen Hurts

If they can get to the Eagles game 2-0 I think you might be right @deanpet21, I'd expect about 50k Skins fans and about 20K Eagles fans. That would be good enough to pretty much fill the stadium.

From the TV it looked Iike the lower bowl was completely filled last week.

Winning should solve the fans at the stadium issue. One week at a time.

20k. Eagles fans in the home stadium would be a disaster
