DeAndre Levy

Lions' DeAndre Levy (knee) expected to play for first time since Week 1

Detroit Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy (questionable, knee) "finally appears ready" to return, reports The Detroit Free Press.

What It Means:

Levy is trending toward playing after he was more involved in practice this week. According to beat writer Dave Birkett, "all indications" point towards Levy being activated. He's been out since Week 1 and should provide a huge boost for Detroit's defense over the season's final stretch.

Detroit's defense ranks second-worst in the league this season in terms of Adjusted Net Expected Points allowed per play, ahead of only the Cleveland Browns.
