Matchup Preview

Matchup Preview *|* September 9, 2013

Detroit Lions
(0-0, 0-0 Away)

Oakland Raiders
(0-0, 0-0 Home)

Injury Report
		Richard Seymour Shoulder Tear (O)
		Jared Veldheer Fractured Elbow (IR)
		Tommy Kelly Pulled Groin (D)

Game Notes
Oakland is missing their two best players, both DTs, on defense. Look for the Lions to try to hit the Raiders hard in the run game early on. Willie Young (RE) will also get the pleasure of playing against a backup LT as Veldheer is already on the IR for the season. Oakland was not able to replace Palmer this offseason but they did add yet another speedy WR, Greg Jennings. Look for Oakland to come out firing against the inconsistent Detroit secondary.
