Summary
Noon ET at Ford Field marks Detroit’s second of three preseason games, with the Lions hosting Washington after opening the exhibition schedule with a 16-14 loss at Cincinnati.
Josh Dobbs is scheduled to start at quarterback, giving Detroit another look at its backup competition after undrafted rookie Luke Altmyer handled most snaps in the first preseason game.
Detroit is also using the game to sort out roster questions on the offensive line and in the secondary, with a wrist injury expected to sideline starting center Cade Mays for the first few regular-season games.
The game airs on the Lions TV Network—WJBK-TV in Detroit—with local streaming on Fubo and radio coverage on WXYT-FM 97.1.
