Jim Caldwell said last week this wouldn’t be an anomaly. At least as long as the Detroit Lions still has issues keeping players healthy.

Injuries at various positions have forced the Lions into a timeshare at multiple positions, something that bore out during Detroit’s 19-7 win over Green Bay on Sunday.

The time split that was both the most expected and most surprising was at right tackle, where rookie Cornelius Lucas took 40 snaps and veteran Garrett Reynolds took 35, even though Reynolds earned the start for the second straight week. Both are playing in place of LaAdrian Waddle, who is out with a calf injury, and Corey Hilliard, who is out for the season with a Lisfranc injury.

Reynolds played the entire first quarter for Detroit. Lucas played the second and they rotated in the second half. Neither player did particularly well, either. Pro Football Focus rated the combination of Lucas and Reynolds at minus-2.4 on the day and said both had pass blocking efficiency grades in the bottom 20 percent of tackles in the league.

This isn’t surprising considering Julius Peppers, who matched up on that side most of the time, had three quarterback hits, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

This proves the Lions really need Waddle back – especially if they want to keep Matthew Stafford healthy.

The time share at the right tackle also hurts right guard Larry Warford, who would benefit from having consistency next to him on the edge of the line.

The major defensive time split came at nickel, where the Lions played their fourth (Don Carey), fifth (Danny Gorrer) and sixth (Mohammed Seisay) players of the first three weeks. Carey started the game there and played two snaps – scoring a touchdown – before leaving with a hamstring injury.

This left Gorrer there most of the game and he played 40 snaps. Seisay spelled him for 10 snaps in the second half and made two tackles. Caldwell said after the game the Lions had planned on playing multiple people at the slot corner, but if Carey had stayed healthy it would have been surprising to see the Lions do that.

Neither Gorrer nor Seisay played particularly well, so monitoring Carey’s injury is going to be important this week. It also wouldn’t be surprising to see the Lions once again work through some cornerbacks during the week.

Detroit’s running backs also saw an equal time split for the first time this season. Reggie Bush had 37 snaps and Joique Bell had 36 snaps, with Theo Riddick accounting for four snaps and three touches.

Bush played primarily at running back this week, although was split out wide for a handful of plays.

The Lions' tight end snap situation had Brandon Pettigrew with the most snaps (49-of-75), followed by Joseph Fauria (25-of-75) and then Eric Ebron (23-of-75). This is similar to the past two weeks for Fauria and Ebron.
