BALTIMORE – The Detroit Lions listed five players on the final injury report ahead of their Week 3 matchup against the 1-1 Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football inside M&T Bank Stadium.

The Lions, at 1-1, are riding high on Monday (Sept. 22) as they boat raced Ben Johnson and his Chicago Bears 52-21 inside Ford Field.

Detroit seemed to silence the narrative after they were embarrassed in their season opener on the road against division foe Green Bay Packers 27-13, and it wasn’t even that close of a game.

The MNF matchup will be the eighth time that the Lions and Ravens have faced each other, with Baltimore holding a 6-1 lead all-time.

The lone Lions victory came on Oct. 9, 2005, inside Ford Field, as the Joey Harrington-led Lions defeated the Ravens, led by Deion Sanders, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and Terrell Suggs, 35-17.

In recent history, the Lions got boat-raced 38-6 on the road inside M&T Bank Stadium in 2023, but they suffered a real heartbreak when former kicker Justin Tucker set an NFL record 66-yard field goal that bounced off the crossbar as time expired inside Ford Field in 2021, falling 19-17.

Detroit appears to be in good shape for the matchup, but they have a tall task ahead of them, as they will face Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins, and Mark Andrews, to name a few.

This week’s inactive players have been announced.
