00:00 John, what do you got for me regarding some defenders and the injury status regarding these key defenders such as CJ Gardner Johnson and Alain McNeil?
00:06 Yeah, Vito heading into week 18
00:09 Many people are wondering which key defenders are going to be able to suit up and play for the Lions
00:15 Look Dan Campbell in his weekly radio interview said just based on what he saw of James Houston last week
00:20 He does not expect the young edge rusher to be able to play this week against the Vikings
00:26 But that probably would indicate, you know a good week of practice and then getting ready for the postseason
00:31 But the two players I do expect to practice this week and be part of the game plan will be CJ Gardner Johnson
00:38 the veteran safety and
00:39 Ali McNeil Ali McNeil obviously coming back after a stint on the IR missing the last four games
00:45 I think that the opportunity for him to come out and have a contest to get himself acclimated for the postseason
00:51 Real key for the Lions a stout interior defensive lineman that has played well throughout the season
00:56 CJ Gardner Johnson is going to bring the Detroit Lions swagger to their defense. You realize that you know, you saw what?
01:04 Unfortunately CD lamb the talented white I was able to do to the line secondary. I don't think he secures 200 yards
01:11 Receiving if CD deuce is back there manning the position at safety
01:16 so you look at the Detroit Lions any opportunity for players to get back and
01:21 Get their feet under them before the postseason can only bode well for the Lions and the Lions potentially getting back James Houston
01:28 Ali McNeil CJ Gardner Johnson for the postseason really bodes well for the Lions and their chances to advance
01:34 John, thanks for all the time
