Live stream the Thanksgiving Day matchup between the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings.
"We're not praying for a miracle in that regard. If it happens, the good Lord has him ready to go, he'll be ready to go," Caldwell said on Wednesday prior to the Lions' Thanksgiving clash with the Vikings.
Led by their even-keeled coach, the Lions have insisted that Thursday's game against the Minnesota Vikings is no bigger than any other.
"It was brutal because you may not be there physically, but you're still there mentally," Millen told FoxSports.com on Monday.
The Lions now have three weeks to either activate Pettigrew or place him on IR for the rest of the season.
"He really stepped up huge," teammate Eric Ebron said Sunday. "We all make mistakes. We're all human and he knew what he did."
The positive vibes at Ford Field on Sunday have Caldwell excited for what's to come this Thursday, when the Lions take on the Minnesota Vikings in arguably the biggest Thanksgiving game in franchise history.
To reiterate: in the 69 games the Lions have played on Thanksgiving, they have never faced such stakes.
A fourth quarter comeback paired with excellent special teams play propelled the Lions to a 26-19 win over the Jaguars.
"No," Caldwell said. "It did exactly what it was designed to do."
The Lions (6-4) have won five of six despite trailing in the fourth quarter of every game.
The Lions' offense was sputtering through much of the first half versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.
