Lions vs. Bears storylines

Lions

Detroit will look to improve their ground game after rushing for only 46 yards in Week 1's loss to the Packers. David Montgomery had 11 carries for 25 yards, and Jahmyr Gibbs only rushed for 19 yards. Last season, the team averaged 146 yards rushing per game. 

The offensive line will look to better protect quarterback Jared Goff, who was sacked four times on Sunday.

Defensive end Aidan Hutchinson is still looking for his first tackle of the season after not recording on Sunday, which marked his first game back since suffering a season-ending leg injury in October 2024. 

Starting safety Kerby Joseph and tackle Taylor Decker are both questionable with a knee and shoulder injury, respectively, the team said. Decker did not practice on Friday, and Joseph was limited. 

Bears

Johnson joined Detroit's organization in 2019 as an offensive quality control coach. After three seasons bouncing between roles within the organization, he was promoted to offensive coordinator, where, last season, he led the Lions to lead the league in touchdowns scored. Johnson drew interest from several teams this past offseason before choosing to take the head coaching job with the Bears. 

"One of the unfortunate parts of making that decision, you were saying goodbye to a lot of friends and a great place," Johnson said.

Caleb Williams put on a more consistent performance in his return to Ford Field. Williams completed his first 10 passes in Monday's battle with the Vikings and ran for his first career touchdown on the team's first offensive possession. He finished 21 of 35 for 210 yards and a passing score.

Cornerback Jaylon Johnson is on track to make his season debut after missing all of training camp, preseason and Week 1 with a groin injury. 

"I feel pretty good just getting that extra week of reps, extra week of conditioning, going through things," Johnson said.

Wide receiver DJ Moore is also expected to play despite taking a vicious hit late in Monday's game that he says felt like getting hit by a car. He was listed in the team's injury list as having an abdominal and groin injury, though he fully participated in practice on Friday.
