The Detroit Lions are eight-point road favorites against the Washington Commanders as they try to bounce back from a loss to Minnesota.

Head coach Dan Quinn opened his Friday press conference like he always does. He named three captains for the game. One of those captains was third-year running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. This comes days after Rodriguez had his best day this season, rushing for 65 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries against the NFL's top-ranked run defense.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell talked about some key players returning from injury in time for their NFC Divisional Round rematch against the Washington Commanders.

Lions coach Dan Campbell sympathizes with Commanders coach Dan Quinn, who's receiving criticism for leaving Jayden Daniels in during a Sunday night blowout.

On Saturday, the team elevated offensive lineman Michael Niese from the practice squad and activated safety Daniel Thomas off of injured reserve. In a corresponding move for activating Thomas, the Lions parted ways with safety Jammie Robinson.

Dan Quinn spoke to reporters before practice, and was asked about Jayden Daniels’s elbow injury. He wasn’t placed on injured reserve yesterday when the team shut down CB Marshon Lattimore (ACL) and WR Luke McCaffrey (collarbone).

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said he doesn't believe Washington Commanders coach Dan Quinn is to blame for Jayden Daniels' injury.
