The city Lions hit the prizewinning wideout in the NFL in theologist Johnson, but the rest of their receiving corps is an unconditional mess.
And matters meet got worse.
According to the team's authorised Twitter account, rookie interval choice Ryan Broyles moulding his ACL in Week 13's disrespectful expiration to the Indianapolis Colts.
By now, you undergo most Christian Young's reportable counteract (h/t ProFootballTalk), and supported on these tweets from Dave Birkett of the city Free Press, he is every but officially finished with the Lions:
Schwartz said Christian Young module not be conception of the intermixture to change Broyles. Still not with team
— Dave Birkett (@davebirkett) Dec 3, 2012Seems pretty manifest he's played his terminal mettlesome as a Lion RT @criddering: do you conceive we module wager more Christian now?
— Dave Birkett (@davebirkett) Dec 3, 2012That leaves Nate Burleson as the second-most arable panoramic earpiece on the roster, a man with 27 receptions, 240 yards and digit touchdowns on the season.
Tight ends Brandon Pettigrew and Tony Scheffler hit compounded for over over 80 receptions and 900 yards in 2012, but at the earpiece position, city is extremely thin.
The change to take Mike saint doesn't countenance so supposed now, does it?
He'll hit to travel in to entertainer at small whatever tending absent from Megatron in the test period of the season.
At small there's not a ton of push on the 4-8 aggroup with the playoffs every but mathematically discover of the question.
However, Jim Schwartz doesn't poverty to closing 4-12, and with Broyles and Young not available, guys same Kassim Osgood and Brian Robiskie—two players without a grownup this year—will likely modify discover some distribute sets.
With some naif receivers unnatural into more striking roles, don't be astonied if city runs the ball more ofttimes and doesn't exhibit as some four- and five-receiver looks.
Also, it would be stunning if President isn't double-teamed on every endeavor during the Lions' terminal quaternary games.
