Pro Football Focus has had a lot of good things to say about the Detroit Lions in the 2018 season Damon Harrison Jersey , especially regarding their rookie class. Tracy Walker finished with a top-10 grade in coverage and an impressive 89.8 overall grade. Da’Shawn Hand made their All-Rookie team of 2018. Kerryon Johnson finished with the 13th-highest grade among all running backs.However, it wasn’t great news for much of the rest of the team. The Lions secondary ranked 30th. Their front seven ranked 31st. Matthew Stafford was just 16th and the offensive line ranked 16th as well.So it’s probably little surprise that the Lions didn’t make much of an appearance on PFF’s Top 101 Players of 2018 list. The list, which was unveiled in installments all this week, only featured a single Detroit Lion, and he didn’t even play with the team for the entire year. Defensive tackle Damon Harrison Sr. came in at 40th on the list:Here’s what PFF had to say about “Snacks:”PFF’s ranking system is a little unclear. Players who graded in the mid-80s and even high 70s made the list. However, guys like A’Shawn Robinson (89.9 grade) and Da’Shawn Hand (88.0) did not make the list. PFF notes in their article that postseason performance was taken into account for the list, so it’s possible players like Robinson and Hand simply didn’t log enough snaps to jump some of those players. And any list like this is going to have some subjectivity Ricky Jean Francois Jersey , even with a grading system in place. Either way, the Lions definitely need an influx of talent for 2019, and general manager Bob Quinn was quick to admit it in his postseason press conference.“I think big picture, we need more playmakers,” Quinn said. “We need guys to make big plays.”Lions-Jets Week 1 injury report: Ricky Jean Francois misses practice with illness After a day off, the Detroit Lions returned to practice on Friday in preparation for their season opener against the New York Jets. The team entered Friday with nobody on their injury report, but one noticeable player was absent from the day’s practice.Lions defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois did not participate due to an illness. Francois has been one of the most consistently good players for the Lions this preseason and even earned himself a promotion to starter on the team’s unofficial depth chart—all despite having been added to the roster just days before the start of training camp. Obviously Levine Toilolo Jersey , it’s hard to know the severity of an illness or when Francois may feel good enough to play, but with an extra day before Monday night’s season opener, there’s certainly a good shot Francois will be able to give it a go against the Jets.Thankfully, the Lions’ injury report is otherwise bare. No other player on the roster—aside from Andrew Donnal—was even listed as limited, including starting right guard T.J. Lang, who missed all of the preseason.The Jets, on the other hand Christian Jones Jersey , enter Week 1 with a lengthy injury report. Here is their injury list from Thursday.
