The Detroit Lions who are currently tied with the Green Bay Packers for first place in the National Football Conference North Division with a record of nine wins and six losses will not have the services of running back Theo Riddick for the final season football game versus the Green Bay Packers in the final week of the current football season. Riddick has been hampered by a wrist and an ankle injury that has kept him on the sidelines since Week 13 of the 2016 regular football season. The Lions will have running backs Zach Zenner and Dwayne Washington to replace him as the lead running backs for the Lions versus the Packers that will determine which team wins the National Football Conference North Division title and a chance to compete in the National Football League playoffs.
