Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions injury report and starting lineup - Week 12 NFL Thanksgiving Day

​

Detroit Lions v Pittsburgh Steelers

The winless Detroit Lions will host the slumping Chicago Bears at Ford Field on Thanksgiving Day. Neither team has given their fans much to be thankful for this season, but both sets of supporters will feel their team could pull off a victory on Thursday.

The Chicago Bears' season continues to spiral into disaster, with Matt Nagy's team currently 3-7 and more likely to get the top pick in the 2022 draft than a playoff spot this season. Reports suggest this will be the head coach's final game in charge of the Bears, and if that is true, he will want to go out with a win.

The Detroit Lions snapped their 12-match losing streak in Week 10 with a tie against the Pittsburgh Steelers but kickstarted a new one last week, losing 13-10 to the Cleveland Browns. Detroit fans are hoping this recent streak will last only four days.

Both teams had initially ruled out their starting quarterbacks, but the Lions have since said they'll be fielding Jared Goff on Thursday. But what about the rest of the team? Here's the injury report and probable starting lineup for both teams.
