Lions Defense Could Be Missing Coaches Saturday
4 years agoThe Detroit Lions Defense could be without a large portion of their coaching staff in Week 16 against the Buccaneers on Saturday after COVID-19 positives from Tuesday have left the coaching staff in a difficult situation with almost all of their defensive staff members considered close contacts, according to sources informed of the situation. Interim head coach Darrell Bevell is also considered a close contact. The Lions are still determining who can coach this Saturday. The good news is that the team announced that there have been no new positive tests, while the Lions will hold an outdoor practice on Wednesday. With Detroit's defense already being off the fantasy radar, you can continue to ignore them in Week 16. Quarterback Tom Brady and the Bucs offense could go off. If Bevell isn't available on Saturday, quarterbacks coach Sean Ryan will likely step in as the play-caller.
