Week 10 Matchup Previews

Jeff Bell (0:00)

The holidays have a way of bringing out old habits. Saying yes to every invitation because you feel guilty saying no, or getting pulled into the same family arguments year after year. But what if this year you gave yourself permission to do things differently? Maybe you skip an event you don't have the energy for, or take a breath instead of reacting to that comment that always gets under your skin.

Those small moments can change how you feel and how you show up for the people you love. That's what growing feels like. Grow Therapy makes finding care easier.

Welcome in, it is Friday morning and you know what that means. Jeff Bell and I are here for the next two hours to talk about all of the upcoming Week 10 matchups. First of all, make sure that you've got all of the Bucks, Broncos, Bears and Eagles out of your lineups as they are on buy. But we are going to start with the Munich game. We're going over to Go to Germany... for this one. Patriots 5 and 4 face it off against the Lions 6 and 2 As always, what we're going to do is start with the injuries. It's kind of a jumping off point for these matchup conversations. And there are quite a few injuries in this one. First of all, we've got Trevion Henderson still dealing with his neurological issue. It's listed as an illness on the injury report. He did not travel overseas with the team. He is not going to play this week. Ramadre Stevenson, who didn't practice Wednesday after missing last week's game, returned to practice yesterday in a limited fashion. We'll see what he's able to do in practice today. AJ Brown, dealing with both knee and ankle issues, has practiced in a limited fashion in back-to-back days. Hunter Henry, also limited with a foot. For the Lions, nothing huge, but we've got Jared Goff dealing with a chest injury. He was a full participant on Thursday, so we expect to see him out there. Amanra St. Brown has been limited with a rib injury, but if there's one thing we know about Amanra St. Brown, it's that he is tough as nails. He is probably going to be out there as well.

Sion Vahki, not practicing as he's dealing with an ankle injury, but Jacob Salers has returned to practice. He's dealing with a neck and hamstring injury, but practicing in full. So Jeff, let's start with Amanra St. Brown here, because I know that there are a lot of people that see a cue next to Amanra St. Brown's name, see that he hasn't logged a full practice.

We're speculating here, but do you have any concern at all? Because personally, I do not.

Jeff Bell (3:41)

No, I do not at all. And we've seen the reputation for Christian Gonzalez potential shutdown corner. He got absolutely abused last week against the Packers. And so there's no concern for me on Amanra St. Brown. He hasn't scored for five weeks in a row, and that's his longest stretch for a couple of seasons. So on the one end, he's probably due to find his way into the end zone. On the other end, yeah, the Packers often, or not the Packers, the Lions offense as a whole, the last two weeks, they've really struggled to, they had Jared Goff sub 200 yards passing each of the last two weeks.

And there was a bunch of different weird streaks broken for the Lions last week. Jared Goff didn't throw a touchdown pass. That was his first time in 30 games. He didn't throw a touchdown pass. Jameer Gibbs didn't catch a pass. That was his first time in 37 games. He didn't catch a pass. So I think that they're just feeling maybe a little bit disjointed in that Lions offense. And we'll see off this, usually going overseas is not a good recipe if you're feeling disjointed to get back rolling again.
