Detroit elevated Anthony Pittman from the practice squad and added Jacob Saylors to the active roster for Week 1 against Green Bay. Jamarco Jones landed on IR, while Sione Vaki and Trevor Nowaske deal with injuries. Saylors impressed in camp with tough, decisive runs and is a potential depth piece behind Detroit’s top backs. John Morton’s run-first approach aims to gel quickly, even as the Packers present a chess-match defense that Lions players and coaches expect to counter with disciplined, up-front execution.
