If you played The Wolf Pro Football Challenge, you must have selected 10 games correctly to qualify to become this week’s winner.

The news about Lions’ starting cornerbacks D.J. Reed and Terrion Arnold is relatively good. Both left Sunday’s win against Cleveland with injuries. Yesterday, coach Dan Campbell confirmed that Reed’s hamstring injury will keep him out “for a while,” but the team doesn’t believe it will end his season. Arnold could miss this week’s game with a shoulder injury, but could return after that.
