One day after the Detroit Lions’ most complete effort of the season, a key piece of the offense has hit the reserve/covid-19 list.

The team announced on Monday that quarterbac­k Jared Goff has been placed on the aforementi­oned list, along with offensive tackle Matt Nelson.

Despite the announceme­nt, there’s still an opportunit­y the 27-year-old could suit up and play on Sunday. The determinin­g factors will be if he is vaccinated and if symptoms of the coronaviru­s are present this week.

“It was a full-team win, a full-team win,” Goff said on Sunday. “All of the times we’ve talked about it this whole year, what it looks like, what it looks like, that’s what it looks like. We make a mistake, we have a fumble, Amani (Oruwariye) makes an intercepti­on and almost takes it back to the house. We score on the next play. That’s how good teams win in this league, and we put it on display in all three phases today.”
