The Detroit Lions may have to face the Buccaneers with some back-up coaches. I know, 2020 has been insane, but that is what it is looking like at this point.
As if the Lions do not have enough problems since firing their GM and head coach, they now may have to play Tom Brady and the Buccaneers with limited coaches.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Media Insiders, The Lions had several coaches that were in close contact with COVID-19. Most of the defensive personnel and interim head coach Darrell Bevell are on the list.
Sources: The #Lions COVID-19 positives from yesterday left their coaching staff in a difficult situation. Almost all of their defensive staff members are considered close contacts, while interim coach Darrell Bevell is, too. DET is still determining who can coach this Saturday.
This reportedly stemmed from the Lions travel. The team is working with the NFL on the high-risk close contacts, and some of the coaches maybe able to coach, but as of right now everything is up in the air.
