Detroit Lions vs. Arizona Cardinals injury report and starting lineup - NFL Week 15
The Arizona Cardinals will travel to Ford Field to take on the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
The Cardinals are coming off a gut-wrenching loss against divisional rivals the Los Angeles Rams, which saw them lose their top spot in the NFC standings. Arizona will treat this as a 'get right' game to get their season back on track.
The Lions ended their winless streak against the Minnesota Vikings but proceeded to be humbled 38-10 in their last game against the Denver Broncos. Detroit continues to remain in prime position to pick 1st in the 2022 NFL draft, but coach Dan Campbell would prefer his team win a few games before the season is over.
Check out the injury report and starting lineup for the Lions and Cardinals:
