“Yeah, comfortable,” he said Friday. “I would say we’re working (Mahogany) and (Awosika) Yode on both of those and working both sides, and Niese has worked a little bit of right guard for us, too. But those two we’re really comfortable with.”
The offensive players joining Glasgow on Detroit’s inactive list today are running back David Montgomery, offensive lineman Colby Sorsdal and tackle Giovanni Manu.
There is good news for Detroit’s defense as veteran safety Ifeatu Melifonwu will make his 2024 season debut in Week 16. Melifonwu missed the first 14 games with ankle and finger injuries that landed him on IR for two separate stints. The Lions started his practice window this week, activated him from IR Saturday and he’s active today. We’ll see how defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn decides to deploy him.
“So much of this was about getting his legs back under him, getting him comfortable this week,” Campbell said of Melifonwu. “He’s gotten a little better every day and he’ll go out there (Friday) and practice and we’re working him in some stuff – just see where he’s at. But it’s good to have him back and it’s good to see him out there, functioning, working the position, and so that’s a good thing.”
