The Detroit Lions have finalized their injury report ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the New England Patriots in Munich, Germany.
Three players have been officially ruled out for the contest, according to the “Detroit Lions official injury report.”
Safety Kerby Joseph, center Cade Mays, and cornerback D.J. Reed will not play in the international game, as noted by “Detroit Sports Nation.”
The team faces uncertainty regarding wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and running back Sione Vaki, both of whom are listed as questionable.
St. Brown was limited in all three practices this week due to a rib injury, making his availability a major storyline.
Vaki returned to limited practice on Friday after missing two sessions with an ankle injury, though his status remains uncertain.
In more positive developments, quarterback Jared Goff practiced fully for two consecutive days following concerns about a chest injury.
The team had been monitoring the “Goff chest injury” closely throughout the week.
Head coach Dan Campbell addressed the situation during a press conference in Germany, where he sought to minimize concerns surrounding his starting quarterback.
Campbell explained that the team simply chose to provide the quarterback with additional rest earlier in the week, according to the reporting from “Yahoo Sports.”
Safety Brian Branch also finished the week with full participation after dealing with a hip injury.
Neither Goff nor Branch carries a game-status designation for the Sunday morning kickoff.
The Lions are now preparing to rely on their depth to fill the gaps created by the three players ruled out before the team departed for Germany.
Detroit will face New England at 9:30 a.m. ET at Allianz Arena in Munich.
