ALLEN PARK -- Taylor Decker missed his second game in four weeks on Thanksgiving, and the Detroit Lions might be without the left tackle again. Detroit hosts the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football in a meaty NFC North prime-time matchup.

The Detroit Lions are making sure that they're in shape for their "Thursday Night Football" game against the Green Bay Packers.

A lot has changed since the Packers lost to the Lions on Nov. 3. Here’s a fresh look at the matchups for Thursday night’s game at Ford Field.

The Green Bay Packers believe they've come a long way since they last faced the Detroit Lions nearly a month ago. They get a chance to prove it Thursday when they visit Detroit to close a stretch of three games in 12 days.

Although the Packers (9-3) have put themselves in good shape to earn a playoff berth by winning three straight and seven of their last eight, they remain two games behind the Lions (11-1) and a half-game behind Minnesota (9-2) in the NFC North. They also already lost at home to both teams.

Dan Campbell talks about signing four new defensive players while Woody Woodriffe, Pat Caputo and Mike Stone discuss the Bears game and what is yet to come for the Lions.

The Green Bay Packers are operating with a weird schedule this week. They played last Thursday against the Miami Dolphins, a 30-17 win, and now they will play next Thursday again, a huge NFC North matchup versus the Detroit Lions.
