The Detroit Lions face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7 for the top spot in the NFC. The Lions are adjusting to the loss of star defenseman Aidan Hutchinson and backup Kyle Peko, forcing them to make some roster decisions and adjust their defense.

“What gives me hope for the future is (defensive coordinator) Aaron Glenn,” coach Dan Campbell said earlier this week. “We have been training here for four years and he has done everything in his power to manage the personnel we have and use the players we have and get the best performance possible and we will be able to adapt to that . “I have a lot of confidence in this D-line room.”
