Lions inactives for Week 17 vs 49ers: The debut of the emergency 3rd QB

The inactive player list for the Detroit Lions in Monday night’s game against the San Francisco 49ers doesn’t feature many surprises. Between a known injury and the cast of usual suspects, this Lions inactives list was a predictable one.

Running back David Montgomery remains on the active roster but won’t play for at least a couple more weeks with his MCL injury. Linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin was questionable for the game. Reeves-Maybin was activated off the injured reserve on Monday and will play for the first time since Week 9.

We also have our first appearance of the season of the third QB as an emergency option. That would be freshly unretired Teddy Bridgewater. He can only play if both Jared Goff and Hendon Hooker are injured during the game.

The healthy scratches for Detroit:

OL Kayode Awosika
OL Giovanni Manu
OL Colby Sorsdal
DL Jonah Williams
DL Brodric Martin
