The Detroit Lions' defense struggled in Week 6, allowing 30 points on the road to the Kansas City Chiefs. Given the current state of the team's secondary, things won't get any easier in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Top Lions cornerback D.J. Reed (hamstring) is on Injured Reserve due to a hamstring injury, while CB2 Terrion Arnold (shoulder) will miss his second straight game due to a shoulder injury. Detroit's star safety duo of Kerby Joseph (knee) and Brian Branch (suspension) will also be sidelined in Week 7. On the bright side, the Lions could be getting healthier up front, as defensive tackle Alim McNeill (knee) could make his season debut after starting the season on Injured Reserve while recovering from a knee injury. Additionally, the Buccaneers will be missing wide receiver Source: RotoBaller
