DETROIT — As coach Dan Campbell promised earlier in the week, the Detroit Lions are set to play a "significant amount" of starters in their preseason game against the Washington Commanders at Ford Field on Saturday, Aug. 22.
Cornerback D.J. Reed, defensive lineman Tyleik Williams and offensive guard Tate Ratledge are among the players who are suited up. Cornerback Ennis Rakestraw was also seen in uniform after sustaining an injury in practice earlier this week. Running back Sione Vaki is a surprise absence.
