The Detroit Lions and New York Jets are 1-1 before Sunday's matchup. Detroit's secondary is depleted: safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph began the season on the PUP list, Avonte Maddox is out for the year and Thomas Harper will miss the game.
Detroit is seeking a rebound after allowing 41 points in last Thursday night's loss to Buffalo. Quarterback Jared Goff leads the NFL with six touchdown passes and no interceptions through two games; Amon-Ra St. Brown leads the league with 19 catches and four touchdown receptions.
Three Detroit starting linemen—Christian Mahogany, Tate Ratledge and rookie Blake Miller—were limited earlier in the week but returned to practice Friday and are expected to start. Ben Bartch, who started the first two games in Mahogany's place, is out with an injury.
