Arizona Cardinals v Los Angeles Rams

Detroit Lions fans have had a painful 2021 season. They traded away their franchise quarterback for Jared Goff and have yet to win a football game this season.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams are as good as they've been in the Sean McVay era. However, the team has hit some turbulence over the last few weeks after barely defeating the Seattle Seahawks and losing to the Arizona Cardinals. That said, they are coming off a 38-3 win over the New York Giants and are looking to beat that score in Sunday's game.

Lions fans are hoping for a surprise win against their former quarterback and his new team. However, the possibility of another blowout defeat looms large.

But how healthy are both teams ahead of the clash?

The Detroit Lions are ravaged by injuries to their depth players, according to CBS Sports. However, they have most of their starters in tip-top shape. Except for Trey Flowers, D'Andre Swift, T.J. Hockensen and Frank Ragnow, the Lions cannot use their injury list as an excuse if they come up short on Sunday.

The Rams are relatively healthy. The most significant injury is Darious Williams, one of the starting cornerbacks. Without him to help lock down the secondary, the Lions may be able to move the ball more than some expect. Aside from him, other injuries will likely not affect the course of the game.

Jared Goff where’s that 🦍?! If you want to play in the D Imma need that Detroit GRIT‼️ https://t.co/yairGNMJem
