He was playing very well before he got hurt, and he'll return as rookie Jahmyr Gibbs is coming off a monster game with 189 yards from scrimmage.

FTW (4. Detroit Lions - Last week’s rank: 5. The Lions can take solace that they aren’t the only NFC team to be thoroughly embarrassed by the Baltimore Ravens this season. The stage is set for what would be the second 12-plus win campaign in franchise history as long as Jared Goff can continue his mid-career resurgence. Just as important: a defense that ranks fifth in yards allowed (but only 14th in points given up) continues to play like a bunch of hungry goblins. — CD): https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-power-rankings-week-10-ravens-bengals-cowboys

ESPN (5. Detroit Lions (6-2) - Week 9 ranking: 8. Non-QB MVP: WR Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Pro Bowl receiver was named one of six team captains for the 2023 season and has continued to build on a great start to his NFL career. St. Brown might not be the most vocal person in the locker room, but his work ethic and production speaks for itself. He has five 100-yard receiving games this season, helping Detroit to a 6-2 start for the first time since 2014. He pushed through an illness to help the Lions beat the Raiders on "Monday Night Football" on Oct. 30 -- finishing with six receptions for 108 yards. Performances like that one have inspired his teammates and the coaching staff. "That was not the best he's felt, but like a true warrior he just sucked it up and he went," coach Dan Campbell said after the game. -- Eric Woodyard): https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/page/NFLpowerranking110723/nfl-week-10-power-rankings-poll-2023-plus-non-qb-mvps-every-team

But seriously, look at the Lions' remaining schedule: Five of the nine games are on the road, but only four games left are against teams currently over .500. Two of those games are against the Vikings, who no longer have Kirk Cousins. One is at New Orleans, where the Saints are 2-2 after struggling in a win over Chicago. The Lions also face the 2-7 Bears twice, plus the 3-5 Broncos. Detroit capturing the NFC North isn't a fait accompli, but it's getting there.
