Lions vs Packers injury report and starting lineup - September 20 | NFL Week 2

Monday Night Football reignites a rivalry that has been one-sided for most of the past few decades, as the Green Bay Packers host the Detroit Lions.

Both teams are coming off losses but perhaps feeling differently about those defeats. The Detroit Lions and their new regime, with quarterback Jared Goff and head coach Dan Campbell, surprised many in their 33-41 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on opening day.

Meanwhile, reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers were playing the New Orleans Saints, who had to host a "home" game in Jacksonville due to the destruction caused by Hurricane Ida. Despite not having their rabid fan base available to them, the Saints still managed to crush the Packers 38-3.

The Lions and Packers are both looking for their first wins of the 2021-2022 NFL season, so tonight's matchup promises to be very intriguing. With injuries playing a major part in the NFL season so far, here's a look at which players are active and which are inactive for tonight's big game.
