The Detroit Lions haven’t been the healthier team entering many matchups over the last season, but Dan Campbell’s team enters Week 3 in relatively good shape. Relative to the Lions’ Monday Night Football opponent, the Baltimore Ravens, anyway…
While the Lions will be without starting DE Marcus Davenport, the Ravens will be missing four starters from the first two weeks. That foursome includes two Pro Bowl pass rushers from 2024.

The hamstring injury suffered by Kyle Van Noy ruled out the ex-Lions early in the week. The loss of interior standout Nnamdi Madubuike was unexpected, however. Madubuike has two of Baltimore’s three sacks through the first two weeks.
Baltimore will also be without starting TE Isaiah Likely and F Patrick Ricard on Monday night. Both have missed the first two weeks. Ricard is a six-time Pro Bowler and the reigning first-team All-Pro fullback, while Likely has been a primary receiving weapon for QB Lamar Jackson over the last three seasons.
