Week 6 Injury Status and Other News

Week 6 Matchup Info

at Minnesota Vikings (Neutral matchup) - Jon Kitna stunk up the joint last week before departing early due to back spasms (8/16 for 74 yards), but his backup Dan Orlovsky was even worse (13/23 for 97 yards, 0 TDs and 1 interception) - Orlovsky also twisted an ankle, the severity of the injury isn't known as of Tuesday. Roy Williams played his best game of the year with 7/96/0 while Calvin Johnson was held in check (2/16/0), but with no TDs to share around nobody on the Lions' unit was highly desirable. Kitna has been in a tailspin since the week 1 game vs. Atlanta. He was sent for a MRI on Wednesday after missing practice - there may be more wrong with his back than simple muscle spasms. Stay tuned to Footballguys.com's players in the news later this week if you are invested in the Lions' passing attack - there could be a new starter under center, depending on what the tests uncover.

The Vikings' pass D allows some yards (230 per game on average, 24th in the NFL), but have only given up 3 scores to date. Drew Brees lit them up for 26/46 for 320 net yards, but only 1 TD vs. 2 interceptions. The team has 4 interceptions and 8 sacks to date, towards the bottom of the NFL in those categories - on balance, the Minnesota pass defense isn't very good.

Two sub par units face off in this game, which makes it an ugly but even matchup from where we sit.
