The hits keep on coming out of Motown for the Detroit Lions – but not the kind made by Marvin Gaye or the Temptations.
On Thursday the Lions announced they would be missing a number of coaches for Saturday’s game against the Buccaneers.
Interim Head Coach Darrell Bevell, defensive coordinator Cory Undlin, defensive line coach Bo Davis, defensive backs coach Steve Gregory and linebackers coach Ty McKenzie will miss the game due to COVID-19 protocols.
The team also announced their new chain of command for the game.
Wide receivers coach Robert Prince will fill in for Bevell as head coach with quarterbacks coach Sean Ryan handling play-calling duties. Assistant head coach Evan Rothstein will call plays on the defensive side of the ball with defensive assistant Tony Carter coaching defensive backs.
