Injuries piling up in Detroit Lions secondary

Rookie cornerback Jonte Green could see the field a lot in the fourth quarter.

Trainers were checking Jacob Lacey for a concussion on the sideline after he was shaken up in the third quarter.

Fellow cornerback Bill Bentley, also a rookie, is questionable to return with a shoulder injury.

Green had a nice pass breakup on the Eagles drive that extended into the beginning of the fourth quarter, but the Eagles still came away with points.

Alex Henery’s 49-yard field goal gave the Eagles a 16-6 lead with 13:39 remaining in the game.
