Also missing from practice were cornerback Ennis Rakestraw (hamstring/illness) and defensive lineman Pat O’Connor (calf). Rakestraw had his 21-day return window last week, so missing back-to-back practices isn’t the best sign.

Jeff Daniels is a big supporter of the Detroit Lions. He put together a catchy tune a few years ago called "The Curse of Bobby Layne." On Tuesday, Daniels was a guest on "The Tonight Show." He delivered a splendid rendition of the song as the NFC North champs get ready

Daniels, who is often at Lions game, is credited with snapping the curse due to a skit he performed at Ford Field with legendary NFL quarterback Peyton Manning that involved a bathtub-of-whiskey ceremony for the ESPN+ show Peyton’s Places.
