While Jeremy Langford's role has certainly changed since Matt Forte has returned from injury, he has refused to go away completely. He has now logged at least 10 carries in every game since the beginning of November.
Forte has been limited in practice this week and while he is expected to play, we may be in for an extra dose of Langford this week. The Lions rush defense is no longer the impenetrable front of the past few seasons -- they currently sit 21st in our rankings -- making this an interesting spot if we hear that Forte's workload will be dialed back at all. It would be ideal to see reports speaking to Forte's availability prior to game day, but Langford's recent usage and this matchup make him playable either way.
