The Detroit Lions (8-3) square off against the New Orleans Saints (5-6) on Sunday at Caesars Superdome in NFL Week 13 action.
The Lions have shown cracks in recent weeks and were stunned on Thanksgiving by the Packers, suffering a 29-22 defeat. While they have a few extra days to rebound from the disappointment, a true test comes in a loud dome on the road against a New Orleans side trying to break through and stay in the playoff picture after being battered 24-15 by the Atlanta Falcons last time out.

Saints and Lions rosters & injury reports
New Orleans Saints team news
New Orleans Saints were already light in the wide receiver department, with long-term absentee Michael Thomas sidelined due to a knee injury.
However, Sunday’s defeat to the Falcons brought more bad news, as both second-year wide receivers, Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, are also nursing injuries. Olave suffered a concussion after an awkward fall, slamming his head onto the turf. With Olave still in concussion protocol, chances are slim that he will be cleared in time to suit up. In Shaheed’s case, he injured his thigh on the very first play of the game, forcing the Saints to take him out of the game by halftime.
Key defensive stars DE Cam Jordan (ankle) and LB Pete Werner (shoulder/oblique) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, alongside S Marcus Maye (shoulder), and RB Kendre Miller (ankle). Meanwhile, C Erik McCoy (shoulder), RT Ryan Ramczyk (NIR-Rest/Knee), TE Jimmy Graham (rest), and K Blake Grupe (right groin) were seen in limited action at Wednesday's session.

Detroit Lions team news
The Detroit Lions are relatively healthy heading into their Week 13 contest against the Saints. The extra time off following the annual Thanksgiving Day classic allowed the Lions' roster to recover from a rigorous spell of three games in only 11 days.
Linebacker Alex Anzalone was the only member of the roster not spotted on Wednesday's training at the Allen Park practice facility. Left guard Jonah Jackson, who has battled multiple injuries this season, featured heavily in the practice, and could be re-introduced to the starting XI here.
