Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff called in sick Wednesday and is one of at least five players dealing with flu-like symptoms.
Speaking to reporters via Zoom from his home, Goff said that he’s already feeling better.
The Lions (1-10-1) won for the first time this season last Sunday behind a three-touchdown game from Goff to beat the Minnesota Vikings. The performance earned the 27-year-old NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors.
The other four players listed on the injury report due to illness on Wednesday did not practice: guards Jonah Jackson and Halapoulivaati Vaitai, nose tackle John Penisini and defensive end Nick Williams.
Rookie offensive tackle Penei Sewell has a shoulder injury but was also listed as limited due to illness.
In two games since his return from an oblique injury, Goff has a completion percentage near 70 with 467 passing yards and five touchdowns.
The Lions visit the Denver Broncos (6-6) on Sunday.
