The Detroit Lions will be without several key players for their Week 2 matchup against the Chicago Bears, as revealed in the team's latest injury report. Quarterback Jared Goff, running back D'Andre Swift, and wide receiver Jameson Williams have all been ruled out for the game.

With Goff sidelined due to a thumb injury, backup quarterback Tim Boyle is expected to make his second career start. Boyle struggled in his first start last week, completing just 23 of 51 passes for 251 yards and two interceptions.

Swift, who is dealing with an ankle injury, has been the Lions' most productive offensive player through the first two weeks of the season. His absence will likely force Justin Jackson into a larger role, with Jermar Jefferson and Craig Reynolds also expected to see increased playing time.

The Lions will also miss Williams, their first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, who is still recovering from a torn ACL suffered in college. In his absence, Quintez Cephus, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and DJ Chark will be relied upon to carry the passing attack.

The Lions' lack of depth is now a major concern. With Swift and Williams out, the offense will lack explosiveness and consistency. The team's defense will also be tested as they face a Bears offense led by quarterback Justin Fields.

The Lions' chances of pulling off an upset against the Bears have taken a significant hit with the injuries to Goff, Swift, and Williams. However, the team remains hopeful that Boyle can provide a spark and that their defense can step up in their absence. The Lions are currently a 7.5-point underdog according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
